Some companies will match your gift, making your gift worth more while crediting you the total amount. A matching gift occurs when participating companies match (sometimes up to double or triple) the amount of dollars given to Villa Duchesne by their employees and spouses, or retirees. The company matches the gift only after the donor has sent his or her gift to Villa Duchesne along with the company's matching gift form. Certain companies will match capital campaign and endowment gifts as well as annual giving and scholarship gifts. To check if your employer has a matching gift program, ask your employer directly or use our HEPdata search below.

Bonne Chance Auction
This event in April is the single largest fundraiser at school. Volunteers are needed in a variety of capacities including acquisition, data entry, and set up.

Annual Giving Ambassador
The primary goal of the Annual Giving Ambassador program is to advance our school for the benefit of our students and carry on the mission of Sacred Heart education for future generations. Ambassador communications do not necessarily include a request for monetary support, the main message is about participation.

On December 18, 2015, the president signed into law the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015. The new law made the IRA charitable rollover retroactive to January 1, 2015, and will remain in effect for 2016 and beyond.

Under the recently reinstated law, you may move up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as ours without having to pay income taxes on the money.

The IRA charitable rollover rules are:

1. The donor must be age 70½ or older on the day of the gift.
2. The donor can transfer up to $100,000 directly from the donor’s IRA to one or more qualified charities. This opportunity applies only to IRAs and not to other types of retirement plans.
3. The donor does not receive any goods or services in return for the rollover gift in order to qualify for tax-free treatment.
4. The gift needs to be made by December 31 for the gift to qualify for that year. If you made a gift to a qualified charity of up to $100,000 directly from your IRA in 2015, your gift will qualify under the new law.
