What Methods of Contributing are Available?
Answer Direct gifts are the most common way of contributing. They are made in the form of cash, stock, checks or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express). As a donor, you have the option of contributing once annually or periodically throughout the year. For your convenience, a personal checking account or personal credit card can be debited a set amount every month. University of Maryland faculty/staff may also pay membership through payroll deduction. This works in a similar way as the EBT program, except you have a payment taken out every paycheck, which would be more than once a month. You also must re-enroll each year. For more information or if you would like to sign up for payroll deduction, please contact the Terrapin Club at (301) 314-7032. The University of Maryland College Park Foundation (the depository for scholarship money) qualifies for most charitable matching gift programs. Please contact your employer to see if you are eligible for a matching gift p
