Now, more than ever, our students need you!
Over 95% of our incoming undergraduates receive some form of financial aid. Your support of the Blue & White Fund, regardless of the gift size, helps them realize their dreams.
You have a variety of ways to give, and your gift might even be matched or qualify you for membership in one of Holy Family University's donor clubs. If you haven't made your gift yet, please contact Christina Bender, Director of Annual Giving, at 267-341-3017 or by email at: cbender@holyfamily.edu.
There’s a special incentive to make your gift by December 31! The CARES Act establishes a new, temporary charitable deduction (up to $300 for individuals and $600 for married couples) in tax year 2020 for taxpayers who claim the standard deduction. For more information, visit holyfamily.plannedgiving.org/cares-act.

Fun fact: The best way to ensure your alumni record is accurate is to tell us your updates!
Do you have a new job, promotion, or retirement news to share? Have you gotten engaged, married, or welcomed a new addition to the family? Are your Holy Family communications going to an old address or featuring an incorrect name or title? Do you have a new address and/or updated contact information?
