Some of the most common ways to make a gift to Loyola are to write a check, make a gift using a credit card, or donate online.
You make a gift of cash directly to Loyola and you receive an immediate income tax charitable deduction.
Planned gifts to Loyola help support our Jesuit, Catholic mission and educational traditions. Your gift will help us:
 |

 |
| Prepare students for lives of meaningful professional service and leadership. | Support our rigorous curriculum and excellent faculty. | Continue programming and events that support our Jesuit mission. |
An outright gift of cash is when you transfer funds to Loyola and get nothing of financial value in return. The most common way for donors to make an outright gift is to write a check payable to Loyola.
Unlike some other gift arrangements, your outright gift will provide resources that Loyola can put to immediate use. If you prefer to restrict our use of your gift in any way, please contact us so that we can be sure that we can carry out your wishes.
You may deduct the full amount of your donation up to 50% of your adjusted gross income, providing tax savings if you itemize. You may carry forward all of your unused deduction for up to five additional years.
Most donors make an outright gift by writing a check payable to Loyola and mailing it to us. You may also make a cash gift using your credit card.
Kathleen Pittman would like to make an immediate $15,000 gift to Loyola. Kathleen could write a check for this amount and earn a charitable deduction equal to $15,000. Alternatively, Kathleen could make a gift using her credit card by calling us on the phone, responding to a mailing, or by donating online through our website. Gifts of checks and gifts made via credit cards are considered cash gifts.
