Whether someone gives $1 or $100,000, each tax-deductible charitable contribution makes a meaningful difference as the UWOLC provides the means to support several outstanding programs as well as thousands of local residents of all ages and backgrounds through a single donation. Every gift serves as an investment in our community as we all work hand in hand for the betterment of Oxford and Lafayette County.

Ways to Invest in the LOU Community 

University of Mississippi faculty and staff can give through a variety of methods. Many employees give through payroll deduction, but there are several others who give through a direct gift such as a check, bank draft, stock transfer, or other means. If you have not already filled out a pledge form and wish to give through payroll deduction or a direct gift, please click on the link below to download a pledge form specific to the University of Mississippi in PDF format:
