Make a
Gift With Perennial Benefits
What’s an endowment? It is simply the donation of funds to a
charitable organization, like St. John's University, to provide an
ongoing source of income for the care or financing of a concern
that’s close to your heart.
A
Fitting Recognition
By establishing a memorial, you honor a loved one or yourself, and
you show your interest in our good works through your charitable
gift. You also receive personal financial benefits from your
contribution—tax savings, reduced estate settlement costs.
Follow
in These Footsteps: Make a Memorial Gift
Establishing a memorial is a twofold gesture. First, you honor a
loved one or yourself. Second, your charitable gift serves as an
endorsement of our good works.
Will
Your Values Live On?
Have you considered establishing an endowment fund? It's a powerful
way to perpetually support a gift to us in your name or the name of
a loved one while realizing tax benefits for your kindness.
How to
Turn Modest Donations Into Big Dollars
Several years ago, one couple made a $712 donation to St. John's
University, and they've been contributing ever since. Some years
their annual gift was a modest $20; other years they made no
donation at all. In total, they've donated more than $9,000 to us,
but the value of their gifts is now more than $51,000.
