Questions and Answers

Below you will find answers to many common questions about Giving Opportunities at Berkeley.

Is my gift tax-deductible? 

The deductibility of your contribution for tax purposes is limited to the amount that exceeds the value of any goods and services you are entitled to receive in return. In addition, a contribution that involves the right to purchase tickets for seating at our athletic events is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Please consult with your personal tax advisors for more information. If you have questions regarding the benefit amount associated with an Athletics gift, please contact Cal Athletics at 510.642.2427.
