Monthly Giving

No matter where life takes you, you will always be a Peacock. That’s why we’ve made it easy to stay connected to Saint Peter’s through sustained support from a monthly gift. No matter how small or large your gift is each month, you can be the difference between a student focusing on their educational journey or worrying about how they will pay for tuition next semester. Set up your gift once and automatically make a difference every month.

All donors with an active monthly gift belong to the exclusive donor society, Always Saint Peter’s, a community of Peacocks committed to staying connected and giving back. Members of Always Saint Peter’s will receive:

  • Invitations to exclusive events designed to connect Peacocks who share a desire to make a difference
  • Year-round connection to see how your support makes an impact on the lives of students
  • Anniversary gifts to commemorate 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years of consistent commitment and support through monthly giving.

Always a Peacock. Always Saint Peter’s. Set up your monthly gift today!
