Real Estate


Most real estate has appreciated faster than the rate of inflation and offers great potential in charitable gift planning.

Electronic Funds Transfer


McKendree University offers you the opportunity to make your gift through electronic funds transfer (EFT). With your authorization, your checking/savings account will be automatically debited in the amount you designate at the same time each month. At any time you desire, you may change or cancel your authorization – you retain control throughout the entire process. For more information, contact the Office of Development, Alumni and Parent Relations, at (618) 537-6826. You may also fill out and return the EFT Form.

What a great way to give larger amounts to McKendree University! Some companies allow their employees to match their gift through their Matching Gift Program. See if your company participates in such a program.

Employee Payroll Deduction


Payroll deduction is an easy way for McKendree faculty and staff to make gifts directly and automatically from monthly paychecks. When you authorize a payroll deduction gift, you instruct the University to withhold a contribution for a period of time or until you discontinue the withholding. Make gifts via payroll deduction.
