Give by December 31 to Receive a 2016 Tax Deduction

If you haven't already done so, you can still make a gift before the end of the calendar year and obtain a 2016 income tax deduction. By doing so you will join more than 2,000 alumni, parents, and friends of Xavier who have already contributed over $900,000 in cash and pledges toward our $2.385 million goal. Your generosity and commitment to Xavier make it possible for us to continue the work of teaching young men to take responsibility for their lives, to lead with integrity, to act justly in service of others, to pursue excellence in every endeavor and to deepen their relationship with God.

The Annual Fund officially closes on June 30, 2017, but we provide this as a friendly reminder for those who may be seeking an income tax deduction for 2016.

Please remember that you can designate your gift to the Annual Fund in order to support the budget of an area or program at Xavier that means a great deal to you such as Financial Aid, Fine Arts, Campus Ministry, the Regiment or any of our sports and activities!
