| The Office of Advancement is responsible for
the school’s fundraising policies and programs. Responsibilities include
the management of programs for annual giving, capital campaigns, major giving
and planned giving. In addition to contributions from alumni we also receive
gifts from corporations, foundations, faculty, staff, trustees, parents
and friends of Catholic education.
The Advancement office manages both donor relations and gift accounting.
It also operates special events throughout the year including a Golf Tournament,
Annual Dinner and Award’s Night and the Student Raffle.
We invite you to browse our website. We will keep you updated on all
the new initiatives taking place at Cathedral. The Cathedral community
appreciates your support as the school strives to fulfill its mission
to educate the whole person spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and
physically to accept full citizenship in the world.
Funds that you can contribute
to:
- Annual Fund Campaign: These funds are unrestricted
operational funds that are used as the Board of Trustees, in consultation
with the Administration, deem necessary. Donations will be marked as
given by a specific constituency: parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty
and staff, trustees, friends and others.
- St. Joseph's Tuition Assistance Fund: These
special purpose gifts temporarily are restricted. The funds will be
used to assist families of students with tuition cost at Cathedral High
School.
- CHS General Endowment Fund: These special
purpose gifts are permanently restricted. The funds are used to build
an endowment fund at Cathedral. The administration and Board of Trustees
decide annually where the interest earned on the investment of these
funds is to be used.
