Matching Gifts

Many companies encourage charitable giving by "matching" employee contributions. If your employer is such a company, they will make a gift equaling or doubling the size of your contribution. Your company's human resources department should have specific details as to how it works. Most often, you are asked to complete a form and send it in with your contribution.

Will and Estate Planning

A charitable gift to the University may provide valuable benefits to you and your family. Planned Giving allows you to maximize the personal benefits of your charitable donation while providing you the opportunity to make a significant impact at St. Mary's University.
