It's the Season of Giving!
Here's a Tip from our Advancement Office!
|
|
Did you know that many companies recognize the value of educational excellence, and have agreed to multiply donations made to SJ by their employees?
With matching gifts you can sometimes double or even triple your gift!
To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, visit
our website here
. Some companies may even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
There are also Donor Advised Funds!
Some employers will make a donation to a charity simply by your recommendation. Check with your employer to see if they can make a tax deductible gift to St Joseph High School through their Donor Advised Fund.
Don't Forget: Gifts Made to St Joes Prior to December 31, 2017 are tax-deductible for the 2017 tax year! Visit
sjcadets.org/sjfund
to donate today.
