EMPLOYER MATCHING GIFT INFORMATION 

There is nothing permanent, except change. The Sacred Heart Foundation is nearing the end of the Seize this Moment campaign, and we hope to refrain from another special  campaign in the forseeable future. 

But we still need your financial support.

As we transition away from special campaigns, it means we will return to The Student 
Fund as the primary means of raising funds for Sacred Heart School.  This year’s goal is $135,000.

It is our hope, that you will consider becoming a sustaining monthly donor to this fund. If you are unable to make a monthly contribution, please give what you can, when you can.  Your gift may also be tax deductible.

Thank you and God Bless,

Dennis P. DeMers
Executive Director of the Sacred Heart Foundation

WHAT IS THE STUDENT FUND?
The Student Fund is a critical fundraiser at Sacred Heart. This fund enables us to complete the school’s mission and bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of educating our students. Tuition revenues do not cover the entire operating budget of the shool. The full annual cost to educate a student is $8,336.

WHY DOESN'T SACRED HEART JUST RAISE TUITION?
We work hard to keep the costs down in order to ensure that Sacred Heart remains an affordable option for families seeking Catholic education.

HOW ARE THESE FUNDS USED?
Gifts to The Student Fund contribute to the school’s operating budget.  
This includes:

• Increased teachers’ salaries
• Technology upgrades
• Facility maintenance
• Tuition assistance
• Textbooks & curriculum
• General operating expenses

ARE THERE BENEFITS OF CONTRIBUTING?
Gifts to The Student Fund are voluntary and may be tax deductible, unlike tuition payments.

BECOME A SUSTAINING DONOR!
Sustaining donors are individuals, like you, who make an ongoing monthly or quarterly donation.  These donations are important to the Sacred Heart Foundation as they provide for the school’s ongoing success and budgetary planning.

HOW IS THE STUDENT FUND MANAGED?
In 2018, the Sacred Heart Foundation, as a separate 
501(c)(3) organization, was asked to take on the management of  The Student Fund in an effort to increase revenues. Contributions are then gifted quarterly from the Sacred Heart Foundation to Sacred Heart Church & School.
