Annual Giving
Syiah Kuala University Fellows and friend
Annual Giving
Annual Giving is crucial to Shansi's ongoing programs and operations. Donations to this fund allow us to support Shansi Fellows in China, Indonesia, India, and Japan, to sponsor Visiting Scholars at Oberlin, to award grants to current Oberlin College and Conservatory students, and to develop on-campus programs that bring Oberlin and Asia closer together.
Oberlin Shansi Trustee Kim Golden has established a generous matching fund for the Hiroshima Fellowship program. To donate to the Hiroshima program and have your gift matched by Kim, please be sure to indicate "Hiroshima" in the note field if you give online, or on the reply card if you send a check the old-fashioned way.
WAYS TO GIVE
Online: Click the teal "Donate" button below to securely donate online through Givebutter. Shansi will receive confirmation of incoming donations and we will send you a letter of acknowledgement and thanks for your gift. To ensure that letter will get to you, please input your mailing address in the provided box. You should also receive a confirmation email of your donation to the email you enter.
Please note: We have switched to a new donation platform, Givebutter, so our donation page will look different from previous years. With Givebutter, you can still use Paypal to donate but you can also do direct credit card payments as well as other electronic payment options such as ACH, Venmo, Cash App and others. We hope this adjustment will allow for easier donations for our donors but should you run into problems, please don't hesitate to email us at shansi@oberlin.edu.
Recurring Gifts: A recurring gift is a way in which you can support Shansi's effort over a period of time. You can give a monthly or annual contribution, simply select your preferred method in the donation pop-up.
Snail Mail: If you would prefer to send your contribution by mail, please click here for the Oberlin Shansi Printable Donation Form and send your check and the completed form to:
Oberlin Shansi
103 Peters Hall
Oberlin, OH 44074
Matching Gifts: If you work for a company with a matching gift program, please consider increasing your impact and make a bigger, broader difference through this arrangement. Check in with your human resources department and alert them of your contribution. Please include the matching gift form they provide with your donation.
Gift of Stock: In addition to making a gift by check or credit card, you can also give a gift of stock. If you would like to make a gift of stock, guidelines may be found here or contact the Shansi office via telephone at (440) 775-8605 or email for account transfer information.
IRA Rollover or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD): For donors taking IRA distributions, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is an attractive way to make a gift to Shansi. With a QCD gift of part or all of your Requirement Minimum Distribution (RMD), you can reduce your taxable income for the year in which it is given. Find more information about making a QCD to Shansi here.
