Cash and checks are most commonly given as charitable gifts, but they don’t necessarily provide the donor with the best tax advantages. Talk to your accountant or financial advisor about strategies that you can use to maximize your gifts to St. Edwards..
Your offertory gift is most easily accomplished through regular automatic withdrawals from your credit card or checking account through our secure online giving platform, GiveCentral. You can choose to give your annual offertory gift via recurring gifts made weekly, monthly, or annually. To create or revise your offertory giving through GiveCentral,
