When our students are supported, they have the power to be change-makers beyond the classroom.
The Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University has numerous opportunities for donors to create a legacy at the Law School and impact our future.
All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Other Ways to Give
We have made giving to Hofstra Law as convenient as possible. Please find all the necessary information below regarding various ways to give.

Matching Gifts
Some companies and law firms will match the charitable contribution of an employee or spouse, allowing the donor to increase his or her gift. If your employer or spouse’s employer has a matching gift program, you can obtain a matching gift form from your human resources department, complete and sign it, and submit the form with your gift. For more information on companies that have matching gift programs, visit www.matchinggift.com/Hofstra.
Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities can be beneficial to the donor as well as to the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University. No capital gains tax is paid upon the transfer of stock, and the donor receives an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift. Stock transfer can be made through a broker, by mail or by hand. Please call the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at (516) 463-4673 for more information.
Giving in Honor/Memory
Giving to The Fund for Hofstra Law in honor or in memory of someone is a great way to acknowledge that person and support the Law School.
The more than 13,000 alumni who have passed through our doors are now excelling in all types of law, business, government and much more. Our renowned professors have diligently taught our students the law, some for well over 30 years. Honor them with a gift to The Fund for Hofstra Law. We will send a personalized notification that a gift has been made. Please indicate in the “Comments/Questions” box where the notification should be mailed.
Planned Giving
A planned gift is a tangible way to endorse the mission of Hofstra Law and to ensure its work for the future. We are grateful to those who have already stepped forward to make such commitments and trust that their leadership will inspire others. Although most people think of planned gifts as involving large sums of money, many are relatively modest in size. All are important, however, and will have an impact on future programs. For more information on arranging these donations, please contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at (516) 463-4673.
