Franciscan Spiritual Center- Donations

This year between the feast days of St Clare on August 11 and St Francis on October 4, we turn to raising the funds needed to meet our fiscal year budget obligations and to dream about the future.

We need to raise $38,000 by September 30.

This year we’ve decided not to host our annual auction and instead want to share some of the voices of the Franciscan Spiritual Center. Our sharing in these weeks aims to give name to what we do and how we perceive its value. We hope it engages you. We hope it motivates you to support us. But, also, we hope it encourages you to pay attention to what is sacred in your life. Our experience tells us the sacred is all around and we can learn to live in it.

Generally donors give directly to the Franciscan Spiritual Center, but if you are making a gift through a donor advised fund, IRA, brokerage account, or you are setting up an estate bequest, you may wish to do so through the Sisters of St Francis (SOSF) Foundation, which is the same as the #3 above. When doing so, please designate any gifts for the benefit of “FSC-West” or the “Franciscan Center in Portland.”

Please contact us if you have any questions: (503) 794-8542 or info@francisspctr.com
And, if you are giving through the Foundation, it is helpful if you let us know so we may better track the gift.
