Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please visit the employer matching gift search page and enter your employer's name.   

If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer and send it, completed and signed, with your gift. We will do the rest! The impact of your gift to Saint Mary’s School may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses as well. 

The recurring gift program is an easy, secure and convenient way to support Saint Mary’s School. You simply select an amount to be billed to your credit card each month, every-other-month or quarterly. Recurring gifts reduce administration costs, allowing more of each gift to be used immediately to support the top priorities at Saint Mary’s School. Because your annual gift will be broken into smaller monthly amounts, a recurring gift may allow you to increase your yearly contributions to the next level.

To start your recurring gift today, please fill out the recurring gift authorization form and mail it to:

Making a gift of this property avoids the capital gains tax while also allowing a charitable deduction for the full fair market value for property held over one year. A formal appraisal is required for gifts of real estate, and school officials must formally accept the gift before it is completed.

Donors also make gifts of personal property such as computers, athletic equipment and classroom supplies for which our teachers and students are extremely grateful. Please note that the school does not place a value on gifts-in-kind. Internal Revenue Service regulations assign that responsibility to the donor.
