Giving Q&A

Holy Name of Jesus School Annual Fund

For more than 125 years, Holy Name of Jesus School has been educating the whole child--academically, spiritually, physically and socially. Parents send their children to our school so that we can nurture their young minds and endow their hearts with the Ignatian Catholic spirit. This has created a dynamic sense of community paired with innovative academics, which sets up apart. 

Each fall, we kick off the Annual Fund to raise money for tangible resources that enrich and enhance the educational experience for all students, and provide campus assets not included in tuition. 

As a “Community for Others,” we ask all stakeholders to join us in supporting our mission. We invite and encourage all Holy Name of Jesus parishioners, parents, faculty, staff, alumni, grandparents, business partners, and friends to participate in the Annual Giving Fund.

Is my gift to the Annual Fund tax-deductible?

Yes, all gifts made to the Holy Name of Jesus School Annual Fund are tax-deductible.

Does Holy Name of Jesus School participate in the corporate matching gifts program?

Yes! Please ask your employer if they match gifts. We welcome any and all matching gift contributions.

How much should I give?

We ask that each family prayerfully consider what you can afford to give. No gift is too small, and every gift truly makes a difference. We do offer the option to make a recurring gift pledge and spread your gift out over time. Our goal is 100% participation, so please give what you can to support the mission of Holy Name of Jesus School.

Where will my money go?

The money raised through the Annual Fund goes directly to the operating expenses of the school.  Every gift to the Annual Fund helps to offset these costs and directly benefits our students.

Do other schools have an Annual Fund?

Yes. In fact, most schools rely upon the generosity of their parents, alumni and friends to support their mission.

Why should I give to the Annual Fund?

You should give because your participation reflects your commitment to the mission of Holy Name of Jesus School. It will also ensure that tuition remains affordable for all of our families. 

Who can give to the Annual Fund?

We welcome gifts from all members of the Holy Name of Jesus School community—parents, faculty, staff, grandparents, parishioners, alumni, foundations, and businesses partners.
