Ways to Give
Support St. Francis
St. Francis Catholic High School’s legacy of providing young women with an educational experience rooted in faith, excellence, leadership, and service relies on the love and loyalty of our community. All gifts enhance our programs and provide vital financial assistance to students and families.
The giving priorities for St. Francis Catholic High School are the St. Francis Fund, Thankful Thursday, and our Special Fundraising Events. With your generous donations, St. Francis can assure our community that it can meet the school’s needs and fulfill its mission. Together, we can achieve our giving priorities, which are detailed below:
Giving Priorities
St. Francis Fund
The St. Francis (Annual) Fund is our largest yearly fundraising initiative and has the most immediate impact on our students. The SF Fund benefits every student by keeping tuition costs down while enhancing unique programs and services—from athletics to arts, academic teams and student clubs, leadership programs, retreats, and many other enriching opportunities.
Thankful Thursday
This one-day, crowd-funded initiative engages our entire community. It focuses on raising the additional tuition assistance needed for more than 21% of our young women and their families who could not attend St. Francis without this support.
Fundraising Events: Crab Feed and Annual Auction
Our Crab Feed and Auction fundraising events build community while supporting our Troubies. While these events provide significant financial resources for the students and school, they also remind us that we are all part of this exceptional community. Your attendance and support of these events is a visible reminder to our community of your commitment to the school and our advancement efforts.
Capital Campaign
We are currently in the “quiet” phase of A New Day Forward: Building on a Legacy campaign. Confirming years of requests by students, families, and the greater St. Francis community, the construction of an aquatic center that will also include three sand volleyball courts, a concession stand, restrooms, and a fitness center surfaced as the first step for both high impact and logistical reasons of our campus-wide master plan. If you would like to learn more, contact MaryAnne Kelly at (916) 737-5033.
