How to Make a One-Time Gift
A charitable gift of cash can be made by sending a check made out to St. Francis de Sales Association and mailed to our national treasurer:
St. Francis de Sales Association

It is also a simple process to contribute to our mission by means of a transfer of stock or other marketable securities. Our association maintains an investment fund to financially support projects and initiatives that maintain and strengthen the Society of the Daughters of Saint Francis de Sales throughout the world each year. Please contact our national treasurer for the necessary information.
Leave a Legacy or Encourage Memorial Gifts
You can also help our association for years to come using one of the following strategies:
- In preparing a will, include a gift to the St. Francis de Sales Association. It is a simple way to share your temporal goods with our spiritual family. In 2013-2014, generous bequests were received from two beloved members of our association. We started a legacy fund with these donations. Gifts to this fund allow us to continue the mission of our association in the U.S.
- Donate to the St. Francis de Sales Association a specific amount or a percentage of your assets including stocks, bonds, CDs, real estate, vehicles, art, jewelry or other property.
- Name the St. Francis de Sales Association as the beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy or purchase a new policy and name the charity as the beneficiary.
- Name the St. Francis de Sales Association as the beneficiary of your IRA or pension plan.
- Honor associates with memorial gifts. Any family member or friend may donate in honor of a Salesian associate.
