Loyola welcomes all regardless of economic means. During these times of crises in our world, Loyola’s vision of “transforming the world one person at a time” is desperately needed. Here are just a few ways your donation can help our fiscally responsible ministry:
Offering spiritual direction at an affordable cost
Funding scholarships for those in need
Providing retreat experiences that could otherwise be financially prohibitive
Supporting new programs like our Welcome Home ministry for veterans and their families
Why donate to Loyola? The spiritual directors at Loyola provide a valuable and much-needed service to the community. For 30 years, Loyola Spirituality Center has helped thousands deepen their relationship with God. We provide one on one spiritual direction, lead retreats and sponsor workshops that help seekers on their journey. Loyola Spirituality Center is a place of peace where people of all faiths can have their stories heard with deep listening and respect.
We are a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization that relies on the generous gifts of people who care about the spiritual journey. If you would like to make a gift to Loyola, there are several different methods. Please select from the following options:
MONETARY DONATION: Make a tax-deductible donation via credit card through GiveMN.org:
Or mail a check to Loyola: 389 N. Oxford St. Saint Paul, MN 5510
DONATE STOCK:
Giving stock held more than 12 months offers a two-fold tax savings. First, you avoid paying capital-gains tax on the increase in value of your stock. In addition, you receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift. Subtracting the tax savings from what you originally paid for the stock can result in a gift that costs just pennies on the dollar. This is an excellent vehicle for stock that has appreciated substantially in value.

FOUNDER'S CIRCLE DONORS
The Founder’s Circle was established in 2005 to enable Loyola‘s ministry to continue with the vision of founder, Dick Rice. Contributors to the Founder’s Circle, by their monetary gift of $1,000 or more (either a one- time gift or a yearly contribution) are joining in the mission and vision of Loyola. Founders have made a commitment through their generous financial support to make it possible for Loyola to develop a staff of qualified spiritual directors for our primary ministry of spiritual direction. In addition, their support enables us to assist individuals to deepen their spiritual lives in other ways through retreats, workshops, our website, bookstore and our publication, The Loyola Letter.
