WAYS TO GIVE FAQ

Is my gift tax deductible?

Yes, your gift to St. Vladimir’s—a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization—is tax deductible as allowed by law and a receipt will be issued for your gift. Year-end gifts must be postmarked December 31st in order to be recorded in that same tax year.

 

Is my credit card information secure?

Credit card information is not stored permanently, and is used only to process the transaction for which it is intended. This site utilizes industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) servers to encrypt your information and prevent unauthorized access.

Shortly after a donation or refund is processed, you will receive a confirmation via email. You are advised to print out and save a copy of this verification confirmation for your records.

 

May I determine the use of my gift?

Most donors give to the Seminary Fund for unrestricted giving directed to areas of the highest need and impact. Our online giving form includes a field allowing the donor to indicate additional options.

If you would like to make a contribution to a specific scholarship fund or other special initiative, please contact: Ginny Nieuwsma, Chief Advancement Officer at ginnyn@svots.edu, 408-693-9260, or 914-961-8313 ext. 360.

 

If I’m retired will my company still match my gift?

Many of our donors have retired from companies that continue to match even after they are no longer employed full time. Just type your former employer's name in the box below to find out more.

 

May I give in memory of someone?

Yes! Just include the name in the box provided and enter the address of the honoree or family member in the comments section of the online donation form. Or include a note with your mailed donation explaining your intent. If you wish us to inform the honoree or the relatives of the deceased of your gift, please include their address with your donation.
