Gift Designations:
Unrestricted gifts are among the most valuable to Saint Joseph's, because they allow the university to allocate funds wherever the need is greatest, and to take advantage of unique opportunities as they arise. Your unrestricted contribution may be used to support costs associated with financial aid, innovations in teaching, research equipment, facilities, and much more.
Directed gifts allow you to designate your gift to a specific school or program, a support group, or a priority area at the university. When you make a directed gift to SJU, you enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you are supporting a program that is personally meaningful to you. For those who make a substantial financial commitment and wish to honor or memorialize a family member, a friend, or someone who shaped their life, there are several permanent naming opportunities for facilities, scholarships, and endowments.
You also have the option of designating your gift for current use or for endowment. Current-use gifts provide funds and flexibility over the short term, whereas endowment gifts provide security over the long term by expanding the university’s permanent financial base and creating a predictable source of future income for such things as endowed faculty positions, student scholarships or fellowships, broad-based interdisciplinary research projects, or even entire academic programs.
