The Gift of Your Financial Support
Friends of the Sisters of Social Service are called to action in many different ways. One way in which many people support the Sisters is with direct financial gift. The gift you give today offers hope, vital social services and other critical resources for people in disadvantaged communities who need it most.
Unrestricted Donations
Unrestricted donations are gratefully received, as they allow the Sisters to allocate these gifts at their discretion to the areas in most need of immediate support, especially special projects or unforeseen emergencies. Thank you for your trust in us to take good care of your generosity!
Restricted Donations
Restricted donations are gifts specifically allocated towards a certain area of need, requested by you, the donor. Many of our beloved donors donate restricted funds to areas such as the Sister’s Retirement Fund, Holy Spirit Retreat Center, Regis House, Camp Mariastella, the Caritas Fund, Vocations and Formation, or one of many ministries in other cities or countries.
Matching Gifts
Many organizations and businesses have “matching gift” or “volunteer incentive” programs for their employees, which “matches” the amount you give to the Sisters, essentially doubling your gift. Please check with your employer to see if they have either of these programs, and we will gladly assist you with these transactions.
