Time & talent
Not every gift fits in an envelope. Cook a meal, lead a Bible study, or serve at Mass. Visit our Get Involved page to see more.
Other ways to give
Give in a planned and tax-smart way. These are very generous things a household can do, and frequently the least expensive.
Kroger Community Rewards
Link your Kroger Plus card to @StLeo-CatholicUnivParish and Kroger donates a share of what you already spend on groceries at no cost to you.
Link your Kroger card →IRA charitable distributions
If you are 70½ or older you can transfer up to $100,000 a year directly from your IRA to the parish, tax-free — and it counts toward your required minimum distribution.
Stocks, bonds & mutual funds
Donating appreciated securities avoids capital gains tax and may provide a deduction of up to 30% of your adjusted gross income.
Employer matching
Many employers will match your charitable gifts dollar for dollar. Ask your HR department about this; it's an easy way to double what you give.
Memorial & honor gifts
Remember a loved one who has died, or mark a baptism, wedding, or graduation with a gift in someone’s honor.
Wills, trusts & beneficiaries
Include the parish in your will or living trust, or name St. Leo’s as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy.
