Annual Fund

The St. Louis Catholic School Annual Fund was established in 2011 and is an opportunity for stewardship and investment in the long-term mission of the school. Your support, and the support of our community, is crucial in advancing our mission. While school tuition income covers the immediate needs of our students and staffing, it is limited in areas of growth and renovation. Through your gifts of financial support, service and prayer, we can secure the fiscal health of the school for the future.

2023-2024 Campaign: Open Hearts See Love
Our $75,000 goal will provide necessary funds for capital improvement projects, technology upgrades, and tuition assistance. Through our Annual Fund drive, your gifts of financial support and prayer help to make up the 15% gap in operating expenses that tuition alone does not cover. 
 

SUPPORT ST. LOUIS CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Your gift to the St. Louis Catholic School Annual Fund may be given at any time. Credit card payments are accepted through the PayPal Giving Fund and FaithDirect. Neither organization charges processing fees for charitable donations, so 100% of your gift is received by the school.

  • PayPal One-time Payments - Tax-deductible monetary contributions may be made through the PayPal Giving Fund as a one-time payment.

  • FaithDirect Recurring Payments - You must set up a secure online account with FaithDirect for this option. Please use the code VA141 for St. Louis Church, and designate "School Annual Fund" to ensure your donation is credited to the Annual Fund. 

  • Via Mail - Mail your gift directly to the school. Please make all checks payable to St. Louis Catholic School and reference the Annual Fund.

MATCHING GIFTS
If you are employed by a company which has a Matching Gift Program, you can double or even triple your gift to St. Louis Catholic School. Your Human Resources department or manager will provide you with the necessary forms to send to the school with your gift, or direct you to an online request form. Please submit the appropriate paperwork with your pledge card. The school will verify your donation with your employer to receive the matching gift. Please note, per Diocesan rules, we are unable to accept matching gifts via ACH transfer.

SPONSORSHIPS
Our annual fund goals are two-fold. In addition to the monetary goal, we also strive for 100% participation from our school families. As an incentive, each year we hold a “March Madness” themed Participation Challenge. Homerooms form teams to compete and move through the challenge bracket, and students who submit pledge cards from family and friends during the challenge timeframe are entered in weekly “Pop-a-shot” competitions and raffle drawings to win small prizes (i.e. gift cards, tickets/passes) donated by our community. If you or your business are interested in donating a student-appropriate prize or funds to procure prizes, please contact Mrs. Kristin Matheis, [email protected].
