The Campaign for St. Mary’s is our effort to raise $3.65 million to renew and modernize the campus of St. Mary’s School. Our main academic building has stood for over 40 years with few upgrades, and it now requires extensive work in all areas to bring it up-to-date. Already, St. Mary’s families and alumni have contributed over $1.7 million, and work to replace the roof is underway. But, necessary upgrades to the electrical, air, lighting and plumbing systems depend on additional funding. Successful completion of The Campaign for St. Mary’s will assure that the long legacy of high-quality Catholic education will continue for today’s students and generations to come. Please contact St. Mary’s today to make your campaign gift.
St. Mary's Annual Fund Drive is a request to parents, grandparents, alumni and other friends of St. Mary's for an annual gift to the Foundation. Our annual appeal is the only formal annual fund-raising effort of the Foundation. The generous gifts from our donors help provide more financial aid for our students, improved academic programs, top-notch faculty and scholarship opportunities. The Annual Fund Drive kicks off in the fall. Ways to give include cash gifts, matching gifts through your employer's company, or a transfer of securities. Your support is greatly appreciated.
St. Mary's Foundation provides a trust fund for the future. The Foundation was established in 1987 to attract, accept, and invest endowment gifts. The interest-only income is returned to the school to fund various programs. Ways to give include cash gifts, matching gifts through your employer's company, securities, and deferred asset-based gifts. Gifts in any amount can be made in memory of a deceased or in honor of a living loved one. Acknowledgment is sent to the family member specified by the donor.
St. Mary's Foundation Planned Giving program provides an opportunity for gifts which you plan now but which St. Mary's does not receive until later. Examples include naming the St. Mary's Foundation in your will, as a beneficiary of a part of your life insurance policy or retirement plans, real estate, establishing a charitable remainder trust, charitable lead trust, grantor retained annuity trust. You should consult your financial advisor or insurance agent to determine the tax advantages of these options.
