Ways to Give
Your gift to National Catholic Reporter carries forward the vision that inspired our founders more than 60 years ago: to use the power of journalism to shine a light on the life of the church and the world. Born from a bold idea for a lay-led, independent Catholic publication, NCR continues that mission today. When you give, you add your voice to this work—and we are deeply grateful to have you with us on the journey.
You can support NCR’s mission in several ways:
- Donate online here
- Mail your check payable to National Catholic Reporter and send to:
115 E. Armour Blvd
Kansas City, MO 64111 - Use Paypal to donate

Many companies will match their employees’ charitable donations. Click here to see if your employer matches gifts and how to complete the process.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account. DAFs are often compared to a 401(k) for retirement savings or a Health Savings Account (HSA) for healthcare expenses.
Donors who have donor-advised funds can recommend a cash gift be sent to NCR by contacting their DAF provider. NCR’s tax-ID number is 43-0815211. Gifts can be sent to NCR, 115 E. Armour Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64111.
Check out the #HalfMyDaf program for details on matching gifts through the Amalgamated Foundation.
Donors who are 70 ½ and older can donate to NCR through their IRA. U.S. tax law allows up to $108,000 to be transferred from a traditional IRA to an eligible charity, thus reducing the donor’s tax burden from the distribution.
IRS rules state that donors must take a required minimum distribution from their IRA starting the year they turn 73. Consider transferring your required minimum distribution to NCR to support the mission and ease your tax burden.
To donate through your IRA, contact the financial institution that manages your account and request the transfer. Provide the institution with NCR’s tax ID number: 43-0815211.
The easiest way to make a gift of stock or other negotiable securities is to advise your broker to transfer the shares from your account to NCR.
