Other Giving

Many donors choose to make special designated gifts to Sacred Heart that are outside the annual operating budget that provide enhancements to the academic program. For example, gifts may be made to the Chapel Fund, the School’s Outreach Program, financial aid, academic and athletic programs, the arts and cultural enrichment, faculty professional development, technology and physical plant enhancements. Donors may also wish to make a gift in honor or in memory of a loved one.

Ways to Give

Gifts of Cash

Cash gifts are always welcome and allow us to further strengthen programs for the benefit of all students.

Gifts of Stock

It is often more tax-wise to contribute stock rather than cash. Gifts of appreciated stock help you avoid paying capital gains tax on the stock’s increased value. Additionally, you receive an income-tax deduction for the stock’s full, fair-market value on the date you made the gift. (The stock must have been held more than one year.)

Matching Gifts

Many companies match contributions that their employees make to non-profit institutions such as Sacred Heart. Most matches are on a 1:1 basis, but some companies match 2:1 or 3:1. Upon making your own gift, you may request your company to match it. Matching gift forms are usually available in your company’s human resources office.
