Ways to Give
The Augustinian Fund fuels everything we do at the Province of Saint Thomas of Villanova. Every gift strengthens the Augustinian way of life: caring for our elder friars, forming the next generation, and supporting ministries that lift up the poor and marginalized. Your generosity also helps extend our mission around the world, from outreach in Japan and Peru to programs that promote justice and peace here at home.
There are many ways to support our ministries and the Augustinian way of life. Please consider a gift to the Augustinian Fund to ensure a strong presence of Augustinians in our schools, parishes, and ministries now and into the future.

If you are 70 ½ or older, you may be eligible for a Qualified Charitable Distribution which allows you to make a gift to the Augustinians from your IRA without paying income tax on the amount transferred.
Stock, Bonds, Mutual Funds
Gifts of appreciated stock, bonds and mutual funds offer tax benefits to the donor and much-needed support to the Augustinians. Please contact Madonna Sutter, Director of Advancement & Communications at madonna.sutter@augustinian.org or call (267) 272-3048 for transfer instructions.
