Campaign FAQs

Faculty and staff giving sends a significant message – that those who know the college best – believe that supporting Saint Ben’s is important. 

Why should I give to Saint Ben’s?
Along with your daily contributions of effort and energy, a monetary contribution is a different and significant way to demonstrate your commitment to Saint Ben’s and its students. Your investment in support of student scholarships demonstrates your sincere belief in the mission of the college and confidence in its future. As active members of the campus community, faculty and staff have a vested interest not only in the well being of Saint Ben’s, but also in the students that surround them daily.

What does my gift to the Faculty/Staff Campaign support?
A full 100% of your gift will be designated to the Saint Ben’s Faculty and Staff Scholarship Fund and will support deserving Saint Ben’s students.

May I designate my gift?
Yes! If you would prefer that your gift be designated to the Saint Ben's Annual Fund or another fund, simply note your preference when initiating payroll deduction or submitting your gift.

How can I make my gift? 
There are several ways you can support Saint Ben's students. The most convenient methods include payroll deduction and online gifts. Other options include mailing a check, emailing a pledge, and stock gifts. See details regarding other ways to give.

What is a payroll deduction?
Payroll deduction is one of the most convenient and popular ways to make a gift to Saint Ben’s. It allows you to make an annual pledge by having a certain amount deducted each paycheck. Your payroll deduction will begin immediately upon your request and will renew continuously until you notify our office otherwise. Click here to initiate a gift through payroll deduction.
