Why should I give to The Bonaventure Fund?
As an employee of this distinctive University, you understand the value of a college education. But did you realize that St. Bonaventure allocates more than $25 million per year in scholarship and financial aid to more than 90 percent of our student body? Your personal gift to student scholarships through the annual Bonaventure Fund helps to ensure current and future students receive an extraordinary education.
Take the challenge and join the Faculty and Staff Campaign today!
How much should I give?
You determine the size and designation of your gift according to your own charitable interests, your personal willingness to give and your financial capacity. No gift is too small.
What can I give to?
Many donors choose to make an unrestricted gift to the Faculty and Staff Campaign directed to where the need is greatest, such as student scholarship. Others might give to support technology improvements, the library, athletics, or one of the many academic departments or programs.
How does payroll deduction work?
Payroll deduction is one of the fastest, easiest and most convenient ways to make a gift. By completing the payroll deduction section on the Faculty and Staff Campaign pledge form, you specify the amount you would like automatically deducted from each paycheck, the start date, and where your support should be designated. You can have an amount deducted until further notice or until a specific total has been reached. The forms can be acquired through the Annual Fund Office in Francis Hall, or download from the link below.
