Support Our Mission

The Aquinas Center is recognized as a tax-exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service.  Although an affiliate of Emory University and a religious organization under the Archdiocese of Atlanta, we do not receive  funding from either entity.  The Aquinas Center relies on the generosity of its donors and event attendees to support our mission.  

The Aquinas Center is one of four independent Catholic intellectual centers at a non-Catholic University. We seek to fulfill our unique mission by bringing the Catholic scholarly presence to Emory University, the Archdiocese of Atlanta and the broader community. We are very conscious in this effort of our Dominican heritage, commitment to academic excellence, and to nurturing the living faith of the Catholic Church. 
​
Donations to the Aquinas Center can be made by credit card, check, bequests or other securities. Please see below or contact our office for more information.
