The W8UM Tower is up, thanks to YOU!
We could not have put up our new tower and antennas without you, our alumni and friends who want to see amateur radio thrive on Michigan's campus.
Also, we could not have completed the tower project without the financial contribution of the U-M College of Engineering and the EECS department. We are especially grateful for the support of CoE Dean Munson and Associate Dean Tony England and EECS Interim Chair Prof. Brian Gilchrist. Thank you!
Support your favorite U-M student club!
Please support the U-M Amateur Radio Club with a tax-deductable donation (and tax credits for MI residents). Michigan residents can get a 50% tax credit (total credit up to $200 for joint returns) for their donation to the U-M ARC! That means that a married couple can donate $400 to the club and receive a $200 tax credit (and end up paying only $200 out-of-pocket). Any donor can use their UM-ARC donation as a tax deduction, as a gift to an educational institution. |
If you want to make us really happy, you can also check with your employer about matching donations! The UM ARC is a tax-exempt student organization sponsored by the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at Michigan. Please contact us and we will provide your employer with a special form they need to submit with their matching donation.
To make a donation you can do any of the following:
- Give online using your credit card
- Click on the link above and a new window will open from a Michigan Online Giving secure server.
- Follow the instructions on the Online Giving page.
- Once you have completed the online donation process, you will immediately receive an e-mail acknowledgement from the University of Michigan. U-M will mail you a receipt for your records and tax purposes.
- Print and mail this form (the form is on the last page) and a personal check.
- Contact the club with any questions, concerns, or other ways to help the U-M Amateur Radio Club (such as "in kind" or equipment donations).
