Contact Dana Irwin if you have questions about your employer.

In-Kind Gifts: Gifts of personal property are accepted if they can serve a worthwhile purpose for the school, can be sold for cash, or can offset a previously planned expense. A description of the item donated is provided to the donor by the Development Office. However, the donor must determine the value of the item with their tax advisor for tax purposes. To make your donation, please use our in-kind donation form or contact Dana Irwin.
