Online Donation Credit Card Form

To give to a Harvard Law School Student Organization or Student Journal use this online form. For all donations, students must complete the Donation Invoice Form. To receive faster processing, please use credit card or bank wire transfers instead of checks.

Donation Checks

Student organizations and journals are restricted from depositing any donation checks directly into their Harvard FCU accounts. All donation checks must be processed through the Harvard Law School Alumni Center in order to comply with Section 170(f)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code.

If the Office of Community Engagement, Equity, and Belonging concludes that a deliberate violation of this policy has occurred, the student(s) from that particular student organization or journal may be subject to disciplinary proceedings before the Administrative Board.

All checks shall be made payable to: Harvard University Presidents and Fellows of Harvard College.

Sponsors shall be instructed to mail donation checks as follows:

[Student Organization Name]
Attn: Allison Patenaude

Or

[HLS Journal Name]
Attn: Allison Patenaude
Harvard Law School – Office of Community Engagement, Equity, and Belonging
1585 Massachusetts Ave., WCC 3rd Floor, Suite 3039
Cambridge, MA 02138

To ensure the correct recipient is awarded the donation, the student organization or journal name must appear in the memo of the check. The check shall also be accompanied with a letter stating the recipient name.

In the event that a check is received at another address, it is imperative that both the check and the mailing envelope be submitted to CEEB for processing. Tax regulations require the submission of the envelope.  Without the envelope, the donor will not receive a tax benefit.

All treasurers are notified by Michelle Prince when donation checks are received by CEEB.

For all donations, students must complete the Donation Invoice Form. To receive faster processing, please use credit card or bank wire transfers instead of checks.
