SUPPORT CHS

The Annual Appeal is our annual fundraising campaign that addresses the financial needs of Catholic High School for the current school year. Annual Appeal funds directly support:

• Student spiritual retreats, nurturing their spiritual growth and deepening their connection to their faith.
• Technology enhancements and instructional tools, ensuring students have access to cutting-edge resources for their educational journey.
• Exceptional extracurricular opportunities, allowing our students to explore their passions and talents beyond the classroom.
• Attraction and retention of highly qualified and caring teachers who shape the minds and character of our young men. 
• Professional development for our esteemed faculty and staff, keeping them updated with the latest teaching methodologies and educational advancements.
• Fostering a sanctuary on campus through investments to facility infrastructure, providing a safe and conducive environment for teaching, learning, and personal growth

The goal of the Annual Appeal is to raise our Alumni, Parent and Friend participation from 33% to 53%, setting a new standard of giving at Catholic High School.  By achieving this, we aim to surpass the $800,000 mark that was set last year.  

The Founders level is a significant level of giving starting at $2,000 per year. Donors at this level or above are honored and recognized at the Catholic High School Founders Banquet in December, signifying their commitment to our community and mission. Many in our community achieve this prestigious level through a recurring monthly gift of $166.67.  

Determining the amount to give is a personal decision that should align with your individual or family situation.  We welcome all donations and have support ranging from a $10.00 recurring monthly payment to a $25,000.00 one-time gift.  Participation is more important than amount, and regardless of the size, every donation plays a crucial role in our collective efforts.  

Wonderful! At Catholic High, we encourage donors to contribute where their passions lie. Our hope is that you would designate a portion of your donation to the annual needs of the school and indicate your preferences for the remaining funds (or the entire amount) in the comment/gift designation section on the donation page.    

Recurring gifts are the simplest and most impactful way to make a difference in our students’ holistic education. A recurring donor can automate their giving by selecting an amount to be deducted from their credit card or checking account. That amount is deducted continuously until the donor changes or stops their contribution.

*Become a founder by making a monthly recurring gift of $166.67 or select a recurring amount that is right for you. 

Pledges allow community members to define the length of their support. Gifts may be made by selecting a yearly, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly plan. We encourage parents to make a pledge for each year their son attends CHS.

To set up a recurring gift, simply click the “Make this a recurring gift” box on the webpage and select your desired gift schedule.  It’s a simple yet impactful way to provide continuous support to Catholic High School.

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees.

The impact of your gift may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
