$15 for Farrell Monthly Recurring Gift
Fast. Easy. Recurs Automatically.
| Give $15 for Farrell |
The donation is automatically billed to your credit card each month. You set the day of the month and the end date. You can also choose to give the recurring gift in any amount.
A $15 per month recurring gift from just one-fifth of our 13,500 alumni would generate over $500k annually.
For the cost of a pizza (two slices, if you are in New York), or a monthly subscription to a streaming service, you can make a meaningful impact on the lives of countless current and future Faithful Men.
Strength in Numbers
To date, over 250 alumni and families have enrolled in the $15 for Farrell program, spanning every decade from the 1960s to current students.
What seems to be a modest amount can become a significant resource when there is strength in numbers.
