How Much Should I Give?
If you are making your first gift, the recommendation is to start out with a gift of $5 per pay period to help students at Saint Mary's. For basically the cost of a fancy cup of coffee per pay period, your support adds up to a big impact for Saint Mary's students. Signing up with Payroll Deduction is easy and requires no further work on your end.
If you already give to Saint Mary's, please consider increasing your gift. If you would like to make a change, simply select an option above and follow the instructions. Or, contact Tracy Heaser in the Advancement Office at theaser@smumn.edu or at extension 1791.
Does My Gift to Saint Mary's Count if I Designate it For...
Yes. While we encourage everyone to consider making their gift to the Saint Mary's Fund because that is the most flexible and readily accessible resource for the university, any faculty or staff gift to any Saint Mary's counts as participation. As employees, we often see areas of need up close that we want to support, and we want to make sure you have that opportunity to support some of your favorite faculty and staff initiatives and scholarships. You can even "split" your gift, designating your gift to go to more than one area (a great way to support the Saint Mary's Fund AND your favorite program)!
Is My Gift Tax Deductible?
Yes, gifts to Saint Mary's University of Minnesota are 100% tax deductible.
