Giving to the Center

Donate Your Honorarium

Instructions for Donors | Instructions for Institutions

Humanities Center Fellows and friends now have the opportunity to support the Center by donating honoraria received for professional services. Fellows, former directors, workshop coordinators, Stanford humanities faculty, or anyone else wanting to support the Center, may designate fees received for giving lectures, reviewing manuscripts, serving on selection committees, etc., as a donation to the Center. The host institution pays your honorarium directly to the Humanities Center, while reimbursing any travel and lodging to you as usual.

Your donation provides essential annual support for the Center's programs and ensures the successful promotion of humanistic research and education at Stanford and around the globe. All donations by former fellows will receive 1:1 matching funds through the Peter Bing Challenge. Donors will be listed in our publications unless they instruct otherwise.

How to Participate

Former Fellows and Friends

Let the host institution for which you are lecturing, or providing some other professional service, know that you would like to donate your fee to the Humanities Center. Direct them to the Humanities Center web site for instructions, or they may contact Susan Sebbard at sebbard@stanford.edu or 650-723-3053.

It is advisable to consult a tax professional about the tax implications of making this donation.
