Vanderbilt University Charitable Giving Policy

Registered Student Organizations that wish to engage in charitable giving must complete a Charitable Contribution Form for review and approval. Charitable contributions may only be made to non-profit entities with missions consistent with those of Vanderbilt University. To contribute to non-profit entities, Student Organizations should raise the funds with clear expectations that the funds raised will be donated to the non-profit entity. Student Organization Funding allocations or funds provided to a student organization by the University may not be used for charitable contributions. Further, student organizations may not collect donations through platforms such as GoFundMe, Venmo, and similar type products as these must be connected to off-campus banking accounts and are prohibited.

All contributions will be made in the name of Vanderbilt University.
