Whether in memory of a friend or family member, in honor of a birthday, wedding or other milestone, Christ the King Jesuit welcomes contributions made in recognition of important life events. When a gift is made in someone’s honor or memory, the honoree or family member will receive a letter letting them know about your donation. The amount will be kept confidential. You will also receive a letter acknowledging receipt of your contribution.

Donating appreciated stock to Christ the King may have significant tax advantages for you, since paying capital gains taxes are not assessed when stock is given as a charitable gift. Your stockbroker or tax advisor will be able to assist you in determining specifically how such a donation can benefit you. For specific information regarding gifts of stock, please contact Maureen at (773) 413-3513 or mkelly@ctkjesuit.org.

Offset your Illinois Income Tax bill by supporting scholarships for CTK students. The State of Illinois approved a Tax Credit Scholarship Program for low-income students. Individual and corporate donors can receive a tax credit for 75% of the amount donated to a Scholarship Granting Organization. Donations are capped at $1 million and individuals may direct their gift to support Christ the King Jesuit College Prep students. Many CTK students eligible for scholarship support remain on the waiting list for the current school year. Please see the step by step instructions on making a donation through one of our two preferred SGOs - Big Shoulders Fund or Empower Illinois. If you have questions or need assistance, contact Pat Bittorf at (773) 413-3509 or pbittorf@ctkjesuit.org.

Double your donation! Many companies have programs that match the charitable contributions made by their employees. Some even provide matching funds to support employee volunteer hours. Your company's Human Resources department can tell you if your company has a program and how to request a match. Conditions and criteria for gift matching vary by employer.
Your employer may ask for CTK's Employee Identification Number (EIN): 26-0556958.

CTK is fortunate to enjoy the generosity of so many people and organizations in the community. Frequently, people spend their own time and money to organize a fundraiser to benefit the students of CTK. These fundraisers include everything from lemonade stands, gift giving parties, bake sales and car washes, to golf tournaments, dress down day at work, and more. If you are interested in hosting your own third-party event to benefit CTK, please give us a call. We can offer you guidance to help make your event a success.
