There are a variety of ways to make a gift to Providence Catholic school and they all make an impact! Whether you would like to make a one time gift, a gift to a specific area, or you're looking to extend your gift over a period of time, there is an option for you.

• Cash gifts can be made by check, credit card, and cash transfer arranged through your personal bank or financial services provider. Cash or check can be mailed to, or dropped off at, the school office whereas card payments can be taken online or over the phone.
   
• Planned Gifts may include Providence as a beneficiary of a bequest, insurance policy, or retirement asset. Bequests may be a specific percentage of an estate or a specific dollar amount. Bequests are also deductible against federal estate taxes and state inheritance taxes in most cases.
   
• Company Matching Gifts can increase your gift. Some employers also honor spouse and retiree contributions. Please check with your employer's Human Resources department.

• Pledges are gift commitments typically lasting over a three to five-year time period. By carefully planning a multi-year pledge, most individuals can make a gift that is many times larger than any single-year commitment. The pledge installment payment schedule is structured based on the donor’s preferences.

• Long-term, appreciated Stocks and Securities can be used to support the annual fund or in establishing planned giving arrangements, and provide a double benefit to you with an income tax deduction and avoidance of capital gains taxes.
   
• Honorary & Memorial Gifts are a thoughtful way to recognize a classmate, teacher, friend or relative.
