Foley Legacy Fund gift – This newly established fund continues to financially support ministries that provide direct service to the economically poor and underserved. Funds may be used to provide financial support for personnel, programs, buildings and grounds needed by the ministry.

Naming the legacy fund in honor of Mother Mary Cleophas Foley who led the Sisters of Providence during a time of great growth was no coincidence. She was superior general for 36 years (1890-1926). Nearly every major building on campus can be traced to her leadership: the Church of the Immaculate Conception; the façade and fourth floor added to the Academy (later Foley Hall); the present O’Shaughnessy Dining Hall; Providence Convent and the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, to name a few. She also initiated a strong program for educating the sisters, sent the first group of our sisters to establish a mission in China and initiated the Cause of Canonization for Mother Theodore. And why was she able to do all this? Because of the support of generous and faithful benefactors!

Planned gift – We invite your partnership with the Sisters of Providence in transforming our mission of promoting love, mercy and justice throughout the world.

Matching gifts – Does your company match your gift to the Sisters of Providence? Check your company’s matching gift guidelines and contact us if you would like more information on making a matching gift.

Here’s what you need to know about matching gifts:
• Check your company’s matching gift guidelines carefully. Just because a company matched a gift to the Sisters of Providence in the past doesn’t mean they will do so again. Often companies change their giving guidelines.
• The Sisters of Providence are a 501(c)(3) corporation. Verification of our tax exempt status is available.
• Gifts to the Sisters of Providence are tax exempt.
• The Sisters of Providence are NOT considered an educational institution.
• If the company’s guidelines indicate they do not match gifts to religious organizations, the Sisters of Providence probably do not qualify for a matching gift from this company.

For any questions or more information on how to give to the Sisters of Providence, call Mission Advancement at 812-535-2800 or email MA@spsmw.org.

The Sisters of Providence remember all benefactors, constituents, alumnae/i and companions in daily prayer.
