How to Give
You can make donations to BYU-Idaho through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Philanthropies.
Employees can also make donations directly through Together for Greatness.
Gifts-in-Kind
Generally, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Philanthropies takes the lead in seeking donations to the University; however, in some instances, faculty members and employees might be approached or seek specific gifts of items to be used in their departments. Such gifts are not to be accepted until approved by the appropriate Vice President. The process for gaining such approval is initiated by completing a Gifts-in-Kind request through Workday.
See the Gifts-in-Kind policy for more information.
Use of Philanthropic Funds
BYU-Idaho is greatly blessed by contributions from many generous organizations and individuals. We must use these funds wisely and effectively. In the end, the goal of the donors and the University is to bless the lives of students.
The current system for managing gifted funds serves to better:
- Comply with donor intent
- Manage resources effectively
- Ensure the use of donor funds is in line with approved University priorities and Board direction
Donor contributions are coordinated and received through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Philanthropies department. The funds are processed and tracked by BYU-Idaho Financial Services and are typically categorized for student financial aid. Exceptions must be approved prior to acceptance of funds.
If you have questions regarding donations to the university or their use, please contact Tyler Andreasen in Financial Services at 208-496-1972; andreasent@byui.edu.
