For the past 95 years, people just like you have supported Saint Ben's aspirations and achievements. You've made it possible for our students to develop intellectually and spiritually. 

There are many ways to financially assist Saint Ben's students and ensure that our distinctive traditions live on for many more generations. 

Types of Gifts

Outright gifts
A majority of the gifts to Saint Ben's each year are outrights gifts.  Cash donations are the most common of these.  Marketable securities are also popular because they are easy to transfer and value, and because they provide certain income tax advantages.  Please contact the college prior to making a gift of mutual funds, real estate and other personal property, art, or antiques.

Outright unrestricted gifts are designated to the Annual Fund, which provides a crucial segment of the college's operating budget every year.  Annual fund gifts of $1,000 or more qualify donors for membership in the President's Circle Club, which recognizes giving at the leadership level.

Matching Gifts
Each year, hundreds of corporations match gifts to Saint Ben's through employee matching gifts programs.  Donors and their spouses obtain the appropriate certification forms from their companies' human resources departments and send them to the college with their gifts.  President's Circle membership, starting at $1,000, includes personal financial gifts and corporate matches.
