Giving

Sacred Heart Catholic School is focused on advancing the mission of the institution by securing financial investments and enrollment each academic year. Education is transformative! Financial gifts strengthen Sacred Heart’s ability to create resources for student learning. This learning produces strong graduates and future leaders within the community. The Sacred Heart Catholic Church funded the establishment of Sacred Heart Catholic School as a parochial school in 1900. It is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. To the extent that the law permits, gifts are tax-deductible. As we move towards the 125th anniversary of the Quasquicentennial Year Celebration in 2025, Sacred Heart invites you to Fund It Forward!

Why Give?

Financial gifts support the mission of the school and supplement a student's development. Sacred Heart Catholic School believes in developing the whole student: academics, athletics, fine arts and faith. Your gifts enable enhancements to our existing programs, provide academic support, and fund tuition assistance for those in need.

Other Gifts to Consider

Gifts In-kind

Some donors take the opportunity to give to the school by providing tangible items such as computers, office or athletic equipment, books, or other items related to our educational programs. Sacred Heart administration can help determine the acceptability of gifts as well as the potential tax benefits and implications of gifts-in-kind.

Planned Gifts

You can remember Sacred Heart Catholic School by leaving a gift in your will or estate plan. Making a planned gift may allow you to give more than you ever thought possible, and, at the same time, you may experience tax advantages or income for a number of years or your life.

Gifts of Securities

If you hold securities that would incur a tax on capital gains if sold, your outright gift to Sacred Heart could mean significant savings. You obtain a tax deduction for the full market value of the gift, and you may avoid a tax on the increase in value.
