SUPPORTING MISSOULA CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
CHOOSING YOUR GIFT PLAN
There are many options to meet your needs while supporting MCS in a meaningful way. Selecting the best gift plan depends on your personal financial situation and goals. Benefactors are asked to establish a pledge over a three-year period to maximize the total amount of support, and your gift is intended solely to support the Tradition with a Vision Capital Campaign projects and goals.
Pledges are commitments made in good faith. Because tax laws change and each situation is unique, donors are encouraged to consult with their financial advisor to determine which method of contributing is most beneficial.

Cash or Check
Gifts made by cash or check are the most common and will allow MCS to address its immediate needs. Checks should be made payable to Missoula Catholic Schools Foundation. Please add “Capital Campaign” in the memo line. Also, please do not combine donations to the Capital Campaign with your annual pledge or other gifts to MCS.
