Ways to Give to the Annual Catholic Appeal

Gifts to the Appeal

You may make a gift in the form of a pledge and receive a monthly reminder over a period of months or a one-time gift payable at the donor’s discretion. All gifts should be fulfilled by December 31, 2025, when the campaign closes. A gift can be also provided online by clicking here.

Electronic Bill Pay (Online Banking)

If you utilize this electronic technique to pay bills, simply add the Faith and Charity Catholic Appeal as a recurring payee.
Payments should be mailed to:

Faith and Charity Catholic Appeal
Catholic Diocese of Wilmington
P.O. Box 25050
Wilmington, DE 19899-5050

Credit Card Payment Options

Payments can be automatically charged to your MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express credit card. To initiate, complete the authorization section on your pledge form for an automatic deduction or contact the diocesan Development Office at (302) 573-3120 or [email protected] for assistance

Gift of Securities

When appreciated securities are given, the full market value becomes a tax-deductible gift. Contact the diocesan Development Office at 302-573-3120 or [email protected] for transfer instructions.

NOTE: Instructions may vary by transaction type, i.e. mutual fund, shares held in an investment fund or registered with Computershare Investor Services. Be sure to contact the Development Office to ensure proper transfer of funds and appropriate credit to you as the donor.

Individual Retirement Account Contribution

If you are 70½ or older, consider providing your gift through your IRA. By doing so, you pay no income taxes on the gift. For more information, click here OR contact your tax advisor

Matching Gifts

Many companies provide a Matching Gift Program for their current and retired employees to promote charitable giving. Please contact your company’s Human Resource Department to determine if a matching gift program is available
