St. Michael Catholic School
Donate
Since 1959, St. Michael Catholic School has been educating students with a strong emphasis on rigorous academics, social development, and the presence of Christ in the classroom. Today, the school educates over 300 students in Preschool through Grade 8.
Tuition and financial support of the parish do not adequately cover the general operations of the school. Therefore, we rely on important fundraisers and generous financial support from those committed to the tradition of excellence St. Michael Catholic School inspires.
Donations are accepted all year to support the Mission of St. Michael’s Catholic School – “To shape disciples of Jesus by igniting the spiritual, academic, and social growth within each child.”
Matching Grant
We are excited to announce that we have received a matching grant of $10,000 from the Richard Schulze Family Foundation to help us meet some of the challenges posed by the COVID 19 pandemic. This will include the hiring of a classroom aide to help us keep groups small to support our students’ learning and help with social distancing; increasing enrollment marketing and communications to ensure sustainability through uncertain economic times; and we will dedicate $10,000 to tuition assistance for members of the St. Michael family who have been adversely affected by the economic downturn. This is an all or nothing matching grant, so we need to raise $10,000 in our own community in order to receive the grant. The deadline is August 31, 2020.
General Fund
Gifts to the school’s general fund support the purchase of academic materials for our students, ensure that we offer competitive salaries to our staff, and enable us to keep tuition at an affordable cost to our families. Thank you for considering a gift to the School’s General Fund.
Endowment Fund
Preserve the legacy of St. Michael Catholic School by donating to the Endowment Fund. Donations to the Endowment grow annually. Typically, a small percentage of the income from the Endowment Fund is used annually to support the general mission of the school, depending on each year’s need. We presently have over $300,000 in our Endowment Fund and look to grow this to $500,000 over the next five years.
Tuition Assistance
Each year the request for tuition support increase. Your gift of tuition assistance allow us to support the needs of St. Michael’s families directly. Typically, we give more than $40,000 in financial assistance, annually. Thank you for supporting a family in need.
