Help us spread the word as a Give to Honor Her ambassador by reaching out to your network about this important day. Use our ambassador toolkit for sample graphics, posts and emails While Give to Honor Her is a celebration of women's achievement that honors St. Kate's history as a women's college, we also value the diversity and inclusivity of our community and you are welcome to honor anyone you'd like, regardless of gender. Honorees do not have to be affiliated with the University. Anyone! We invite each donor to honor one to three women per gift. All gifts are welcome and appreciated! The average gift for GTHH is $100, but there is no minimum gift required. March is Women's History Month, the perfect time to honor women who inspire us. The digital tribute platform allows our donors to share more about the women they honor. After making a gift, donors will be sent instructions on how to add a photo, video, or message of gratitude about the women they honored. Names of women honored will also be listed in the spring St. Catherine University Magazine published in April. After making your honoring gift, donors will be sent a link and instructions to build their tribute post by adding a photo, video, or message. Please allow up to 24 hours for our team to view and approve posts We’re happy to help! Email stewardship@stkate.edu or call 651-690-6976 Yes - if the donor indicated on the donation form an email or mailing address. The honoree is notified of the donor's name; the gift amount is not disclosed. *Names of women honored before 11:59 p.m. on March 5 will be included in the digital tribute and the spring St. Catherine University Magazine. ** I hereby grant St. Catherine University and its authorized representatives permission to use my likeness or original work in photography, video, audio, or other digital media in any and all of its publications, including web-based publications, without fees, royalties, special credit or other compensation.
