Give to Rebels on Wall Street

The gift

Send more UNLV students to Wall Street.

Pick the amount. That is the whole decision: no meetings, no committee, no plaque, nothing to manage.

01 / The door

Think about the door that changed your career.

Was it a bill someone paid, or a room someone let you into?

Tuition gets a student in the classroom. The trip gets them in the room.

Rebels on Wall Street is the room: a week in New York, inside JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs and on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.

02 / Proof

Where the money goes.

Nobody should back this on a promise. So here is the proof, straight from our story archive, unedited.

03 / The limit

Before you back anything, ask what stops it from doing twice as much.

If the honest answer isn’t money, a gift has nowhere to show up. The books can be clean and the result still doesn’t move.

Here, the firms aren’t the limit. The students aren’t the limit. The budget is.

How many more a gift sends depends on the year, so we won’t print a number we can’t stand behind.

Two reasons to wait, and what’s true about each.

“Later, when it can be bigger.”

Money compounds. College years don’t. A gift saved for later reaches a class that isn’t on campus yet, and a student who graduates first never goes.

“When I can do something that really counts.”

You don’t have to build a program to open a door. This one is already built: the firm visits, the application, the trip itself, every fall.

04 / Spring 2026

So everything good in this club traces back to one professional who decided to help. Last spring we invited those professionals in, just to say thank you. Nothing fancy. Snacks, and goodie bags the members made by hand. Then the students stood up one at a time and told the room what the New York trip did for their careers.

But here is the part we did not expect. Nobody in that room asked about a plaque. They asked what the club needed next. That is who this page is written for.

The donor thank-you, spring 2026

What the club needs next is simple: more students in the room.

Who took a chance on you?

A gift here is that same bet, made on a student before there’s a track record.

05 / How to give

Give the way you already move money.

By card, up to $50,000

Right on this page, through Square. The receipt lands the moment it clears. Back to the amounts

A DAF grant

Search your sponsor’s grant tool for UNLV Financial Management Assoc. Not listed? Email unlvfma@gmail.com and we’ll send what your sponsor asks for.

Recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund (DAF) to UNLV Financial Management Assoc., and write Rebels on Wall Street as the purpose. The deduction generally happened the year the money went into your DAF, and the grant claims no second one. So waiting changes nothing about your taxes. It only changes when a student is reached.

For money already in a DAF, there is no better tax year coming. The tax year already happened.

Appreciated stock

Shares go in unsold. Give them to your DAF and recommend the grant, or give them to us directly. Either way the growth goes to the trip, not to the tax bill. Email unlvfma@gmail.com for transfer details.

A wire or a check

Email unlvfma@gmail.com and a board member sets it up with you.

Through your firm

Same paths. Add the firm’s name in the form. It’s for our records, never published.

Gifts to UNLV Financial Management Assoc. are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Your advisor has the final word on your own taxes.

06 / $100,000 and up

Giving $100,000 or more? Talk to a board member, not a checkout page.

Card gifts stop at $50,000. Above that, and for any wire, shares or DAF grant, tell us who you are. A board member calls you inside 48 hours. That is a person, not an autoresponder.

Want to check us first? Ask on the call for our nonprofit documents.

Is it tax-deductible?

Gifts to UNLV Financial Management Assoc. are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Square emails your receipt the moment it clears. Your advisor has the final word on your own taxes.

How many more students does my gift send?

That depends on the year, so we won’t print a number.

Can my gift put a student on this November’s trip?

No. This November’s group was chosen before this page went up. Your gift goes to the trip, where money sets how many go.

Do I get anything back?

No perks, no plaque, no name on anything. The Square receipt the moment it clears, and after the trip, a recap of what it produced.

Will my name show up anywhere?

No. Gifts on this page are never listed publicly.

Will I be asked again next week?

No. You’ll hear from us with the receipt, and again with the recap after the trip.

Who runs FMA?

A student board: Jade (President), Carlos Mendez (Vice President), Kris (Treasurer), Alan Parrales (Director of Marketing), Calvin (Director of Communications) and Carlos Gomez (Director of Logistics). The faculty advisor is Dr. Daniel Chi, Chair of the UNLV Department of Finance.

Is this part of UNLV?

FMA is UNLV’s student Financial Management Association, and it works with the UNLV Finance Department on Rebels on Wall Street. Gifts on this page go to UNLV Financial Management Assoc. through Square.

Is my card safe?

You pay on Square’s own checkout page. Your card number never touches this site.

Can I give through a DAF, stock or a wire?

Yes. See How to give above, or email unlvfma@gmail.com and a board member sets it up with you.
