Absolutely! By participating in Give to St. Kate’s Day, no matter the size of the gift, you help create opportunities for current students. Your support on this day is impactful and meaningful.

We are grateful for our very generous alumni and friends who have stepped up to offer challenge and matching funds for this day of giving. All donations on Give to St. Kate's Day release challenge funds, dollar for dollar, that will double the impact of your gift. There are additional challenges that unlock more dollars to support students through the Katie Fund. Challenges and matching funds are unique to Give to St. Kate’s Day and are only offered on November 13, so don't miss your opportunity to maximize your support for students at St. Kate’s!

Inspired by GiveMN’s Give to the Max Day, St. Kate's chose to create a unique day of giving to reach a broader audience of alumni and friends who live nationally and internationally, not just in Minnesota. Also, the foundation that runs GiveMN retains 6.9% of each donation to help cover their expenses. St. Kate’s donors can still participate in Give to the Max Day, however, directing community members to our own day of giving allows the entire donation to support St. Kate students. 

Yes! Individuals are welcome to make a gift over the phone by calling 651-690-6976 or by mailing a check. The University will count all gifts received via postal mail with a memo of Give to St. Kate’s Day (or GTSKD) with the postmark of November 13, 2024. 

If you have given this year, thank you! Give to St. Kate’s Day is a great way to show your Katie pride and continue your support of current students. Making another gift on November 13, will not only increase your impact on students but will also help release additional challenge gifts that are only available for this day of giving!

Yes! Many companies offer programs that will match contributions to St. Catherine University. Your donation to the Katie Fund will meet most matching requirements and can increase your impact.  Companies often match gifts by spouses, parents, retirees, or partners. To learn if your employer has a matching gift program and how to sign up for it contact your human resources office or visit stkate.edu/match.

Scholarships are the key to Katie success! In providing financial aid, the Katie Fund reduces barriers for our Katies, enabling students from diverse backgrounds to access a St. Kate's education and achieve their goals.

Your gift can be anonymous, simply check the appropriate box on the donation form.

Thank you for your generosity! Donations to named scholarship funds count toward our overall Give to St. Kate's Day total. However, the focus of this day is on our Katie Fund, which provides immediate broad support for students with need.
