Some centers charge a processing fee for each term. Oasis courses are offered in three “terms” per year. Participants pay a processing fee when registering for their first class of each new term. This processing fee goes towards the cost of the classes, materials, educational resources and facilities.

No. Each center sets the class fees for the classes offered at their center. It is the goal of Oasis to offer quality programs at an affordable rate for everyone.

We encourage all of our participants to take advantage of as many Oasis programs as possible.

Questions about donations to Oasis

You can click the Donate link at the top of the website or you can go to your Oasis Center’s web page to make a donation.

Donations by Location

Donations to Oasis are used to support our lifelong learning, health, and volunteer engagement programs. For example, donations can be used to help cover the costs of instructors, class materials, exercise equipment, and supplies for our tutoring program.

Oasis is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so your donation is tax-deductible as a charitable contribution to the extent allowed by law. In order to qualify for the deduction, donors will need to save their donation receipt.

We accept monetary contributions in the form of check, credit card or money order. We accept all major credit cards except for American Express. Additionally, we can accept stock donations.

NOTE: If you make a stock donation, you must notify Oasis so that we can properly receipt you for your contribution. To find out more about making a stock donation, please call (314) 862-2933 x240.

The option of giving a recurring, monthly contribution is available through our online donation form at www.oasisnet.org/donate. By selecting this option, an automatic contribution will be made on the same day each month for the period of time you enter, but you can contact us to cancel the monthly charge at any time.

We do not currently accept donations in the form of personal property. Donations of this variety can potentially raise significant practical and legal problems. However, we do accept a variety of planned gifts, such as charitable gift annuities, listing Oasis as a beneficiary in your estate, etc. If you have questions regarding a potential contribution, please contact our development department directly at (314) 862-2933 x240.
