Giving FAQs

Our academic reputation, co-curricular programming focus, and residential living experiences speak for themselves. We urge you to browse our site to learn more about why King's College is a special place worthy of your assistance. As a relatively young educational institution, King's College is still growing its endowment program with intent to adequately meet the financial needs of the campus community. Your gift to King's benefits those who need it most: the students. 
 
Our mission is to provide students with a broad liberal arts education in the Catholic tradition and to offer intellectual, moral, and spiritual preparation for satisfying and purposeful lives. From its very beginning in 1946, King's has offered educational opportunity to first-generation college students who might otherwise have been unable to attend. Even today, 99% of our students benefit from scholarship assistance made possible through the generosity of alumni, parents, friends, corporations, and foundations. Your gift will enable King's to continue to provide an affordable, high-quality educational experience to deserving and talented young people. 

We offer many ways to make a gift. You can make a gift on our secure website using your MasterCard, VISA, American Express, or Discover card. If you prefer, you can write a check payable to King's College. To learn more about how you can contribute, please contact us.

In the event of a death, family members wishing to designate King's College as the recipient of memorial gifts should contact the Office of Institutional Advancement.
 
Donations made in memory of a deceased individual are handled in accordance with the family's wishes. Unless otherwise directed, all memorial gifts are placed in a restricted fund account and generally used to provide financial assistance to students. Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement for more information. 

If you would like to make a memorial gift, you can do so on our secure website using MasterCard, VISA, American Express, or Discover card. 
 
You will be prompted to answer several questions, including the type of donation, the name of the deceased, and the family member who should be notified of your gift. The College then sends the family member a memorial card indicating the donor's name and address, but not the amount of the gift. 
 
You may also choose to have us bill you or to make your gift offline using a MasterCard, VISA, American Express, or Discover card. To do so, please call us at (570) 208-5880. If you prefer to make your gift by check, make it payable to King's College and indicate in the memo section of the check the name of the individual being remembered. Please provide a note containing the following information and mail to the address below: 
 

• Full name of the deceased and date of death, if available 
• Name and mailing address of the surviving spouse, family member, or other individual to be notified about the donor's memorial gift
