#  Charitable Contributions 

 



**Use these guidelines to determine Harvard's tax obligation on charitable contributions to other organizations.**

**General Information**

When Tubs make charitable contributions to other organizations that are exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the University may be able to take this charitable deduction on its tax return for the year of the contribution.

**Tub Role**

Forward both the acknowledgement letter you receive, and any documentation you have showing that the recipient organization is exempt under Section 501(c)(3) to Jodi Kessler, [jodi\_kessler@harvard.edu](mailto:jodi_kessler@harvard.edu).

**For information about charitable contributions to Harvard, please contact the [Harvard Alumni Office](http://alumni.harvard.edu/).**
