How to Donate to the Newman Centre Catholic Mission

Updated

The Newman Centre Catholic Mission website (newmantoronto.com) lists three distinct giving routes: a donation to the Newman Centre, a donation to the Newman Foundation, and Pre-Authorized Giving (PAG). All three appear in the site's main navigation and footer, so you can reach them from any page. Which one you choose depends on whether you want to support the Centre's day-to-day mission, contribute through its foundation, or set up a recurring gift.

The Three Donation Options

Option What it is Best suited for
Donation: Newman Centre A direct gift to the Centre One-time or general support of the Centre's work
Donation: Newman Foundation A gift directed to the Newman Foundation Support routed through the foundation rather than the Centre itself
PAG (Pre-Authorized Giving) A scheduled, pre-authorized giving arrangement Donors who want to give regularly without repeating a manual donation

The site presents these as separate links, which indicates each serves a different fund or purpose. The page does not publish amounts, processing fees, or receipt details, so confirm those with the Centre directly if they matter to your decision.

How to Make a Donation

  1. Go to newmantoronto.com.
  2. In the navigation or footer, open the DONATE section.
  3. Choose the destination that matches your intent: Donation: Newman Centre, Donation: Newman Foundation, or PAG (Pre-Authorized Giving).
  4. Complete the giving process on the page that opens. The site does not describe the payment steps or platforms, so follow the instructions shown there.

Expected result: you reach the giving page for the fund you selected. If you are unsure which fund fits your intent, contact the Centre through the Contact Us link before giving.

Common Questions

Can I give monthly? Pre-Authorized Giving is the site's recurring-giving option; the page does not state the schedule or amounts, so confirm terms with the Centre.

Will I get a tax receipt? Not stated on the site. Ask the Centre or Foundation directly.

Is online payment the only way? The site does not list other methods. The Contact Us page is the place to ask about alternatives.
