Q: How do I appropriately deduct my Penn’s Way 2017 contribution from my taxes? 
A: Penn’s Way 2017 contributions made via payroll deduction will occur in 2017 and should, therefore, be considered deductions for your 2017 taxes. Please consult your accountant or tax advisor regarding contributions made via cash, check or credit card.

Q: What credit cards are accepted using the online pledge form and what are the associated processing fees?
A: VISA, MasterCard and Discover are accepted using the online pledge form. Unfortunately, due to high processing fees and poor reporting capabilities, American Express is not accepted. Penn covers all processing fees associated with credit card contributions to maximize your contribution.

A: You will need your PennKey and password to login to our online system. Once logged in, you will be prompted for the organization code(s) to direct your gift, or asked to provide a keyword to search for relevant organizations.
