Secure Online Giving

Payroll Deduction

Payroll deduction is a convenient way to give, that automatically deducts a pre-determined amount from your paycheck. It's quick and easy! Just download and complete the Payroll Deduction Authorization Form below and submit the finished form to your payroll department for processing.

Electronic Funds Transfer

The power is in your hands! Electronic Funds Transfer is another quick and easy way to give, which automatically deducts a pre-determined amount from your bank account. Please fill out the online donation form above, select Other from the dropdown menu, and note: EFT to establish an Electronic Funds Transfer.

Matching Gifts

Matching gifts are a corporation's way of multiplying the benefits of their employees' charitable gifts. If you or your spouse work for, or are retired from a company that offers a matching gift program, your gift to Aquinas could be doubled or even tripled.  In most cases, all you need to do is complete a form available through your employer. Please view our list of Companies with Matching Gift Policies below. If you don't see yours, check with your company's human resources department. 

 

Note: If you work for a matching gift company, your gift will not automatically be matched. You need to fill out the matching gift form available at your human resources office or do an online search for the form and process specific to your employer.

Planned Giving

One simple way to join this group and build a legacy that empowers students to achieve their full potential and become compassionate leaders is by including a gift in your will or trust. We’ve partnered with FreeWill because their trusted online platform can help you make your will or trust in just 20 minutes for free. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

 

If you have already included a gift in your will or trust, please fill out this form so we can recognize your generosity and ensure our records are up-to-date.

 

Designating Aquinas as a beneficiary of a non-probate asset not included in your will is another way to establish your legacy with us. Some of these include your IRA, 401(k), and life-insurance policy. FreeWill can also help you plan for all of your non-probate assets.
