Debit Card / Credit Card, or eCheck
Fast. Easy. Secure.
Supporting HUA can be as simple as a few clicks online. You may use your debit card, credit card, or eCheck (direct payment from your bank account) to make a one-time contribution. Or even better, to set up a recurring monthly gift. Recurring contributions are especially impactful, as they provide HUA with a reliable stream of support, allowing us to plan programs and scholarships with confidence.
How to give: Visit our secure donation page, select your amount, choose whether it’s one-time or recurring, and complete your gift in just minutes.
Matching Gift – Employer Matching Funds
Double (or triple!) your impact.
Did you know your employer might double—or even triple—your gift? Many companies have matching gift programs where they contribute an equal or greater amount to the charity of their employee’s choice. This means your personal generosity can have twice the impact at no additional cost to you.
How to give: Ask your Human Resources department if your company participates in a matching gift program. Complete your employer’s matching gift form and designate HUAthe recipient. Once your gift is made, HUA will handle the rest of the paperwork to ensure your employer’s match is received.
Qualified Charitable Distribution – Traditional IRA/RMD
A tax-smart way to give.
If you are 70½ or older, the IRS requires you to take a minimum distribution (RMD) from your traditional IRA. Instead of taking that distribution as taxable income, you can direct it to HUA as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This not only fulfills your annual RMD requirement but may also reduce your taxable income, creating a tax-wise way to give.
By redirecting your retirement savings, you transform years of careful planning into a legacy of learning, empowering HUA to provide scholarships, courses, and programs rooted in Sanātana Dharma.
How to give: Contact your IRA custodian and request that your distribution be sent directly to HUA notify our Advancement Office so we can ensure your gift is properly credited.
Charitable Bequest – Will or Living Trust
A legacy that lasts.
One of the most meaningful ways to support HUA is through your estate planning. By including a charitable bequest to HUA in your will or living trust, you create a legacy that will endure long after your lifetime. Such gifts may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or even a residuary bequest after other obligations are met.
Your legacy gift ensures that future generations of students will continue to access Hindu knowledge, culture, and philosophy in America.
How to give: Speak with your attorney or estate planner about adding HUA as a beneficiary in your will or trust. We would be honored to provide sample bequest language to make the process simple.
Donor Advised Funds (DAF)
Turn investments into dharmic impact.
Bank Draft – ACH or Wire Transfer
Simple. Direct. Effective.
A bank draft (ACH transfer) or wire transfer allows you to send funds directly from your bank account to HUA. This method is safe, efficient, and particularly useful for larger contributions, as it avoids credit card processing fees and ensures that more of your gift directly supports HUA’s mission.
How to give: The funds can be sent to the HUA bank account. HUA’s bank account details:
