Donation Forms

Q: Is it required to fill out the online donation forms regardless of what type of donation?

A: Yes, please always fill out the form for each donation to ensure we have the correct contact and donation information. It can help us process your donation more efficiently. Without a donation form, the donation will be allocated for the Foundation Operation.

​

Q: Is there a PDF donation form that I can download? 

A: It is highly recommended that you use the online donation forms which support efficient and precise donation processing. But the PDF Donation Form is still supported.

Fees

Q: Is there any processing fee for the donation? If yes, how much it would cost?

A: There are bank/platform fees associated with some donation methods (e.g. ~2% for PayPal, and $15 for Bank Wire Transfers). In additions, the Foundation collects low processing fees based on the following structure:

    $10K or less (<= $10,000): 3%

    Over $10K up to $100K: 2%

    Over $100K: 1% of the excess amount

Grants

​

Q: What is the privacy policy?

A: The Foundation has an opt-out privacy policy. Selected donor information (e.g., names and email addresses) will be shared with the beneficiaries unless the donors choose to be anonymous. Non-personal information (e.g., graduation departments and years) will always be shared.
