Matching Gifts

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees. Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. If your company is eligible, you can request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. Your gift may be doubled or possibly tripled, causing an even great impact at Lewis University! Be sure and check the "my company will match my gift" box on our online donation form when making a gift.

Stocks & Mutual Fund Gifts

Donating appreciated stock and mutual funds is one of the most tax-efficient ways to make a charitable gift. To learn more about the charitable and tax benefits that you may be entitled to, please contact the office of University Advancement directly at (815) 588-7543.

Wire / ACH Transfer

If you have concerns about the security of sending cash donations through the mail, Lewis University suggests a wire or ACH transfer between your financial institution and the University's bank.
