Monthly Giving

Through monthly donations, Camp Champions provide CSM with a consistent and reliable source of funding that allows us a financial foundation to plan ahead. When you become a Camp Champion, you join a special group of people making a big impact with small gifts to help change children’s lives.
Why making a monthly gift as a CSM Camp Champion is a great choice:

  • Great Satisfaction. When you become a CSM Camp Champion, you’ll know you are changing lives year-round with your donation each month.
  • Easiest and Most Convenient Way to Give. Your gift will appear each month on your credit card or checking account statement.
  • Less Stress in December. By setting up your monthly gift today, you can relax in December knowing your tax-deductible giving plan is already in place for the end of the year.
  • If for any reason you wish to increase, decrease, or suspend your gifts, just call us at 248-822-8199 or email us at [email protected], and we will gladly accommodate you.

HERE'S WHY ONE DONOR GIVES MONTHLY

“I contribute to Camp Sancta Maria because the Camp is devoted to forming, and transforming, young Christian lives.  By infusing all activities with an atmosphere of faith—playing sports, riding horses, learning to swim, heading outside to camp—every minute becomes an opportunity for kids to connect everyday life with the spiritual, making their relationship with God real.  In this way, CSM has changed my children’s lives. I give so that other children may experience this change too.” — Clay

When you become a CSM Camp Champion, you immediately maximize your support of our mission to change children’s lives.

  • Convenient for you:
  • Secure and easy to set up.
  • Saves postage costs.
  • No time spent writing and mailing checks.
  • Flexibility to increase, decrease, or suspend your gifts at any time by calling us at 248-822-8199 or emailing us at [email protected].
  • Increased value for CSM:
  • Speeds up the arrival of your gifts so your donation can be put to immediate use.
  • Reduces our already low administrative costs, maximizing the impact of your donation.
  • Allows us to build a financial foundation to plan ahead, and thus more accurately budget for and plan projects and programs for the kids.

There are three ways to become a CSM Camp Champion:

  1. ONLINE: Join via credit card online today via the “Camp Champions Monthly Giving” section on our Donate page by clicking HERE.
  2. MAIL: Join via credit card or through your checking account. Simply download our Gift Form by clicking HERE. Mail your form to us at: Camp Sancta Maria; PO Box 613; Washington, MI 48094
  3. PHONE: Join via credit card by calling us at 248-822-8199.

Absolutely! Perhaps even safer than regular mail, because your name, address, and giving information are kept strictly confidential and secure. You are in control of your giving decisions at all times.

It’s easy! You can increase, decrease, or suspend your gifts at any time. You can also change your giving method (checking account or credit card) by contacting us at 248-822-8199 or [email protected].

Your monthly credit card or bank statement will show the precise amount and date of your donation to Camp Sancta Maria. You’ll also receive a thank you letter from us each month. Those who donate by credit card will also receive an email confirmation each time your gift is processed.

Please know that we are grateful for your support regardless of the method used!  But since you asked, using your checking account through your bank is preferred.  Donations made in this manner allow the kids at Camp to benefit from your full gift rather than losing a percentage to credit card processing fees.

Your initial gift will be processed on the day you submit your request via the Camp Champions Monthly Giving section of the Donate page on our website (or mail in your gift form downloaded from our website). Subsequent gifts will process on the 15th of each month. If the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, it will be processed on the following regular business day.  This will continue indefinitely unless you inform us that you wish for these valuable donations to stop.

Camp Sancta Maria (EIN 38-6086752) is a tax exempt nonprofit charity held in a trust governed by an independent Board of Trustees. While we serve families from all seven dioceses of Michigan (and beyond), no diocese is responsible for CSM financially. This means we are responsible to secure our own funding to advance the mission that has been passed down to us since our founding in 1933. To continue this essential work, we need your help. Please prayerfully consider helping Camp Sancta Maria with your time, your talent, and your treasure. Join the CSM family and be part of forming young Christian lives! Thank you, and God bless you.

John David Kuhar is our Executive Director. Prior to being selected for this position by our Board of Trustees in 2017, John David served CSM as Senior Counselor, Head of the Waterfront, Assistant Head Counselor, Head Counselor, and most recently as Program Director. John David earned his Bachelor’s in Philosophy and a Master’s in Theology from Sacred Heart Major Seminary. He and his wife Carrie and their daughter feel blessed to be a part of Camp and greatly enjoy watching the campers grow in their love for the Lord. John David also works as Director of Faith Formation at Guardian Angels Parish in Clawson, MI.
