Important Year-End Dates for Processing Charitable Gifts to FSU | 12/06/2024

A Message from the Division of University Advancement:

If you are responsible for processing or receiving gifts for your college or department, please note that the Division of University Advancement will have abbreviated business hours during the winter break. To ensure your donors’ year-end gifts reach the FSU Foundation in a timely manner and are processed according to their wishes, we ask that you adhere to the schedule outlined below.

The Division of University Advancement will close at 5 p.m. on December 20 and remain closed through January 5, 2025. Regular office hours will resume on January 6, 2025.

Gift agreements should continue to be routed through the Help Center. Should you have questions regarding the status of a gift agreement, contact Alexia Chamberlynn at achamberlynn@advance.fsu.edu or Jill Hoover at jhoover@advance.fsu.edu.

Once you return from the holidays, please take a few moments to sort through your mail, identify charitable items, and deliver them, along with their respective postmarked envelopes, to the Foundation office by January 8. Please continue to send all postmarked envelopes for any gifts received in January. We also ask for your assistance in making faculty and other staff who may receive gifts aware of the urgency of transmitting year-end gifts and donor instructions to the Foundation. Remote staff who cannot go into the office should find someone to check their mailbox for them.

Documents and donor instructions should be hand-delivered to the Foundation office at 325 W. College Ave. All faculty/staff contributions must follow the same instructions as other donors, including deadlines, postmarked envelopes, etc.

For more information, contact Alexia Chamberlynn, executive director of Gift Services and Campaign Administration, at achamberlynn@advance.fsu.edu or (850) 644-9193 or Jill Hoover, director of Gift Services, at jhoover@advance.fsu.edu or (850) 644-0834.
