Ways to Donate

There are many ways to support St. Mark’s while also contributing to your own personal and financial goals. 

Immediate gifts to St. Mark’s, such as cash, stock, and property, can lower your tax liability. They allow St. Mark’s to put your philanthropy to work immediately in an area of special interest to you. 

Deferred gifts, such as the inclusion of St. Mark’s in wills, charitable remainder trusts and other similar legal transactions, benefit St. Mark’s University Parish in the long run and may be the best solution for long-term planning purposes. 

Cash Gifts

A one-time or re-occurring gift of cash is the most common way of making a gift. One of the advantages of a cash gift is that it allows St. Mark’s to make immediate use of the gift.
