Happy Holidays from the PLU Advancement Team!

Thank you for your year-end gift on behalf of PLU and PLU students!

All 2022 gifts, including online gifts, credit card gifts, or gifts of appreciated securities, must be received by PLU by December 31, 2022 to be included in your year-end tax summary. The only exception is checks received via mail. Checks that are postmarked on or before December 31, 2022 will be receipted with a 2022 gift date. We will mail a gift receipt to you; please keep your receipts for tax purposes.

Remember that we are here to answer your questions about giving and we want to make sure your giving experience is meaningful for you and our students.

We wish you and your family a joyous holiday and best wishes in the New Year!

Please note that the office will be closed December 23-January 1, but phone and email messages will be answered during that time.

Any checks received after December 30 will be deposited in the new year but credited to 2022 if postmarked on or before December 31.
