You can support the University via the Friends of HKU in many ways:
 |
Cash in checks |
| |
Please make cash donation in the form of checks made payable to "Friends of the University of Hong Kong, Ltd". |
|
Electronic funds transfer or wire transfer |
| |
This is equivalent to cash donation as far as income tax charitable deduction is concerned. Please contact us for details of our bank account and we will ensure your donation will be properly acknowledged and allocated to the purpose as designated by you. |
|
Gift donation |

A meaningful way of donating to the University is to ask your friends who are planning to send you gift for your wedding, birthday or other celebration events to donate in cash to the Friends of HKU instead. We will send out appreciation souvenir in your name to your friends and our appreciation and congratulation to you. |
|
Gifts of marketable securities and bonds |
| |
Donating marketable securities that has been held by you for over a year is eligible for income tax deduction and any appreciation is not recognized as capital gain. Please consult your tax advisor for specific deduction you can enjoy with the donation. Securities can be transferred directly from your brokerage account to the Friends of HKU's account. Please contact us for details and we will assist you during the process. |

Life insurance, real estate and bequest |

Donation in these forms requires some planning and professional guidance. It could be a very significant contribution to us and at the same time a substantial tax break for you. Please consult your tax advisor for the best arrangement and at the same time keep us informed so that we can provide our timely assistance to make sure your giving goals are met. |
