Ways to Give

All gifts are vital to the support of St. Monica Catholic High School’s annual, capital and endowment needs. There are many different ways to make a gift. Listed below are options you may wish to consider when making a gift to St. Monica.

Cash Gifts

Cash gifts are the simplest and easiest gifts you can make. They can be made through credit/debit card transactions, outright cash, or personal checks, cashier’s checks, or money orders made payable to St. Monica Catholic High School.

Matching Gifts

Matching gifts are an easy way to double or even triple your donation to St. Monica. Matching gift programs offered through participating companies typically match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in employees’ personal philanthropy. Simply obtain a matching-gift form from your employer’s personnel office, fill it out, and provide it to SMCHS with your contribution.

Gifts In-kind

Some donors take the opportunity to give to the school by providing tangible items such as computers, office or athletic equipment, books or other items related to our educational program. The Advancement Office can help you determine the acceptability of gifts as well as potential tax benefits and implications of gifts in-kind.

Planned Gifts

You can remember St. Monica Catholic High School by leaving a gift in your will or estate plan. Making a planned gift may allow you to give more than you ever thought possible and, at the same time, you may experience tax advantages or income for a number of years or life. Please contact the Advancement Office for more information regarding planned gifts.

Gifts of Securities

If you hold securities that would incur a tax on capital gains if sold, your outright gift to St. Monica could mean significant savings. You obtain a tax deduction for the full market value of the gift, and you may avoid a tax on the increase in value.
