Gift Credit Through Northwestern University

Alumni, parents, and friends wishing to donate to Sheil may choose to route their gift through Northwestern University’s Development Office. This may make the donation eligible for corporate matching and may give the donor membership in one of Northwestern’s giving clubs. Gifts given through the university will be restricted to student and educational programming. If you would like to make a restricted gift to Sheil’s facilities, buildings or grounds, please make your donation directly to Sheil. For those interested in donating to Sheil via Northwestern, checks, money orders, or transfers of stock can be sent to Northwestern’s Development Office at the address below: The Sheil Catholic Center account, Northwestern University Gift and Record Services, 1201 Davis Street,  Evanston, IL,  60208-4410. Please be aware that there is usually a one-month delay between the university receiving a gift and Sheil being notified. In order to ensure timely acknowledgement from Sheil, please contact Teresa Corcoran, Director of Operations, at the time you make your gift to Northwestern at t-corcoran@u.northwestern.edu or (847) 328-4648.

Matched Giving

Some companies match gifts that their employees make to charitable organizations. If your employer offers this benefit, please make your check payable to Northwestern University.
