The Ways to Give

Please prayerfully consider how you might participate in this Build on Our Foundation Campaign for Bellarmine’s future through a personally significant gift or pledge.

GIFTS may be made through credit/debit card transactions, cash or personal checks made payable to Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House.

PLEDGES to the Campaign can include payments over three years. Set your initial gift and three-year pledge schedule online, and extend to five years if required.

STOCKS, BONDS, AND MUTUAL FUNDS that you have owned for more than one year that have increased in value are a great way to receive a charitable gift tax deduction and not incur capital gains taxes. 

IRA QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS made as direct gifts from your IRA to Bellarmine are a great way for those 70½ years of age, or older, to make a gift to Bellarmine. 

MATCHING GIFT corporate programs allow donors to double or even triple the impact of their gifts.
