can provide immediate income tax deductions for the donor, estate tax benefits for
heirs, and/or life income for donors and other beneficiaries.

Cash Gifts
Simple, direct, the most common method of making a gift. Cash provides immediate support
to the University.
Checks should be made out to: Saint Elizabeth University
And mailed to:
Saint Elizabeth University
Office of Institutional Advancement
2 Convent Road
Morristown, NJ 07960
Please be sure to indicate whether your gift is for the Annual Fund or for a designated purpose, and whether it is restricted and/or in honor or memory
of someone.
You may also make your gift by Credit Card either online, or by calling the Office of Institutional Advancement at (973) 290-4465.
We gladly accept American Express, Discover, Mastercard or Visa.
Matching Gifts
Many companies will match gifts to higher education, which can double or even triple
a donor's gift to the University. Your total gift then would include your personal
donation as well as the matching gift and will be reflected in your gift membership
level.
To give an example, if you make a gift of $500 to Saint Elizabeth University, and
your company equally matches that gift, you will be credited with a gift of $1,000
and become a member of the Seton Society of the President's Council.
To determine whether your company or your spouse's company participates in a matching
gifts program, please check their Human Resources Department or visit www.steu.edu/matchinggifts to search online.
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of appreciated stock are advantageous to the donor, who receives an income tax
deduction based on the current value of stock, while avoiding tax on capital gain.
When you decide to give stock to the University, please be sure to notify the Institutional
Advancement department at ia@steu.edu. We can provide you with information on how to make the transfer.
Alternatively, you can print these detailed Instructions on How to Give Stocks (PDF).
Life Income Gifts
The opportunities for charitable gifts are many and varied. You may discover that one of many forms of planned giving will help you accomplish your financial goals by providing for Saint Elizabeth University while helping to secure your family's financial future.
