Make a lasting impact through your donor-advised fund

Your donor-advised fund (DAF) offers a simple and meaningful way to invest in the spiritual lives of college students. By recommending a grant to the Newman Center - St. Thomas Aquinas Church, you help forge students into saints, fully alive in Christ.

Your generosity helps provide students with access to the sacraments, Bible studies, discipleship, retreats, spiritual formation, and a vibrant Catholic community during some of the most formative years of their lives. It also prepares young Catholic to carry their faith into their future families, parishes, workplaces, and communities. 

Why DAF?

  • A donor-advised fund allows you to support the Newman Center using charitable funds you have already set aside. It can help you: 
  • Put your charitable resources to work for a mission you value. 
  • Make a significant gift now or provide reliable support over time. 
  • Recommend recurring grants that sustain the Newman Center's ongoing ministry. 
  • Involve your spouse or family in thoughtful charitable decisions. 
  • Consolidate your giving and simplify charitable recordkeeping. 
  • Create a lasting legacy of Catholic faith and formation. 

Whether you recommend a one-time grant, establish annual support, or make a transformative investment in the Newman Center's long-term future, your gift will help form generations of students as lifelong disciples of Christ.

NOTE* While your donor-advised fund grant is deeply appreciated, the Newman Center will not issue a tax charitable receipt because, as per IRS regulations, the original contribution to your donor-advised fund was eligible for acknowledgment as a tax deduction, by the fund's sponsoring organization.
