St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary

Supporting St Vladimir's Seminary

The mission of St Vladimir’s is only made possible with the prayers and gifts of our many generous supporters.  If you wish to make a donation, please make your check or money order payable to “St Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary” and send it to:

St Vladimir’s Seminary
575 Scarsdale Road
Crestwood, NY  10707

Please write on the check or in an accompanying note if you wish for the gift to be in memory of a departed loved one, so that we may pray for them in the seminary chapel.

Many companies match the charitable giving of their employees.  Please check with your employer to see if they have a matching program, as this is a wonderful way to increase the value of your gift.

There are many ways to support the seminary besides individual donations.  Many of our supporters make pledges to contribute on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis.  Others have endowed scholarship funds or faculty chairs, sponsored the publication of SVS Press books, and helped to finance the construction and renovation of seminary buildings.

Increasingly, friends of the seminary are supporting its work through gifts of securities.  The seminary also offers professional assistance with gift planning — trusts, gift annuities, gifts of real estate, and bequests.  Please contact us if you would like more information.

If you have any questions, please contact the staff of the Office of Institutional Advancement at 914-961-8313, extension 340, or advancement@svots.edu.
