Seton accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Gifts via credit card can be made electronically by accessing our secure online PayPal form. If you prefer to make a contribution over the phone using a Visa, MasterCard or Discover card, please call 
Rita Wiskowski, 414-831-8414 or email at rwiskowski@setoncatholicschools.org.

Setting up a recurring monthly gift is an easy and cost effective way to make your gift to Seton Catholic Schools. Monthly donations can be processed via credit card set up through the online PayPal donation form. You can also email Rita Wiskowski at rwiskowski@setoncatholicschools.org or call at 414-831-8414 to make a payment over the phone. 

A gift of stock or appreciated securities can provide the donor with a tax deduction and the ability to avoid capital gains tax. You may make a gift of securities to Seton Catholic Schools through your broker. For information on gifts of stock and securities, please contact Rita Wiskowski, 414-831-8414 or rwiskowski@setoncatholicschools.org.

Please note: Do not sell the securities; you must transfer the securities to the school’s brokerage account to receive the most advantageous tax treatment.

Many companies will match the contributions that employees make to nonprofit organizations such as Seton Catholic Schools. Under a corporate matching gift program, gifts made by a company’s eligible employee, employee’s spouse or retiree may be matched with company or corporate foundation funds—sometimes doubling or tripling the initial gift.

The process for submitting a matching gift claim differs from company to company. Some require a completed paper form, others have an online system, while others request that claims be filed by telephone. In the event that your company provides a paper matching gift claim form, please complete it and mail to:

Seton Catholic Schools
Development Office

PO Box 070912

Leaving a gift to Seton Catholic Schools in your will or by beneficiary donation is a great way to invest in the future of Catholic education and make a lasting difference for the students and educators of tomorrow.
