What does the campaign goal of 4,000 donors mean?

The goal of 4,000 donors reflects approximately how many more alumni donors we need to make their first gift this fiscal year so that we can continue our renowned alumni participation in annual giving record and achieve 40% this year.

To be counted as a donor this fiscal year, when does my gift need to be in?

Our fiscal year ends on June 30, therefore online and credit card gifts must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. EDT and checks must be postmarked by June 29 to count for this fiscal year.

Does my gift have more impact if I give on or before June 30? 

Yes! For every 1,000 donors, a generous anonymous donor will give $125,000, up to a total of $500,000.

Check out the matches and challenges section for details on other ways to increase your impact. Your gift may meet the criteria for even more challenges and/or matches.

How do I designation my gift?

On the giving form, under the 'How would you like to designate your gift?" field, you can scroll through the drop down list or start typing in your area of interest. If you start typing, available areas will appear based on the text you enter. Once you have found your desired designation(s), click the purple circle with the plus sign inside to select the designation(s).

What options exist for making a gift?

Our fiscal year closes on Friday, June 30 so we strongly encourage you to make your gift online before or by 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 30 to be counted as a donor for this fiscal year.

Checks can be mailed in via USPS but must be postmarked prior to or on Saturday, June 29, 2024 in order to be counted for this fiscal year. If mailing via UPS or FedEx, checks must be received by June 28, not simply postmarked by June 29, in order to be counted for the 2024 fiscal year.

You can make a gift with stocks or securities. Please call us at 877-433-1843, or email our team at hcfund@holycross.edu, to let us know, so we can count your gift.

Gifts through donor-advised funds can also be made. To make a distribution to Holy Cross through your donor-advised fund, please contact your financial institution and include “HC fiscal year-end 2024” along with your gift designation. Let our team know at hcfund@holycross.edu so we can count your support.

What payment methods do you accept online?

In addition to debit and credit cards, you can make your gift using PayPal, Venmo, GooglePay, ApplePay and/or Cryptocurrency.
