Gifts to Central Catholic High School ensure Central’s commitment to the founding principle of St. John Baptist de La Salle, education for all. Every gift, no matter the size, is significant to the students at Central Catholic. There are a number of giving opportunities available for alumni and friends to help Central Catholic meet the changing needs of a new generation of students.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the foundation for giving to Central Catholic High School and helps to make a Central Catholic High School accessible to as many students as possible, regardless of their financial situation. Donations to the Annual Fund offer young men the opportunity for a distinctive education, a combination of excellent academics, personal development and spiritual growth. Through the Annual Fund, each generation of students benefits from the gifts of previous generations. Beginning with the year 2011, the annual giving year has been extended to December 31, 2011; all future giving years will follow the calendar year.
Donations to the Annual Fund can be made by completing the Annual Fund Commitment Card .
Alumni Endowment Scholarship Fund
The Endowment Fund ensures Central’s ability to maintain its proud heritage of cultural and social diversity. Interest earned annually from the Endowment Fund provides tuition assistance to deserving and eligible students. A well-funded endowment will provide Central Catholic with reliable and predictable resources for tuition assistance well into the future.
Planned Gifts
The estate plans you make now ensure that Central Catholic’s mission and traditions are transferred from one generation to another.
