supportSJCS 2022-2023 St. Joseph Fund 

The St. Joseph Fund is made up of the unrestricted gifts from generous donors to help us expand the hearts while educating the minds of each student that walks through our doors.  The St. Joseph Fund provides the everyday extras not covered by tuition, that help our students and staff thrive in our Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. 

A gift to the St. Joseph Fund is a vote of support of our mission. We rely on that support from staff, faculty, families, grandparents, alumni and community members.  Together, you make up the heart of the school.  You ARE St. Joseph...and for that, we are very thankful!

Frequently asked questions about The St. Joseph Fund 

The St. Joseph Fund is a yearly fundraising campaign that provides unrestricted dollars to the school’s operating budget. The St. Joseph Fund drive is launched in August and runs until the fiscal year-end on June 30th.
 
All members of the SJCS community: parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and other friends of the school are asked to support the St. Joseph Fund.

The cost to educate your child is not completely covered by the tuition you pay.  Like most Catholic schools, there is a gap between the tuition charged and the actual cost to educate a student.  The St. Joseph Fund fills that gap in lieu of a tuition increase.  Unlike tuition, donations to the St. Joseph Fund are tax-deductible and can be matched with corporate matching programs.  Most important, however, is that the St. Joseph Fund contributions allow us to keep our tuition affordable and helps provide a Catholic school education for many of our students

Make a pledge anytime by contributing online or directly with the Advancement Office.   You may spread your gift out over time by using the online giving option.  Complete your payment or fulfill your pledge by June 30th of the current school year.

St. Joseph Fund dollars enhance virtually every area of student life at SJCS. Thanks to the St. Joseph Fund, we have MacBook Air laptops, 4K interactive panels in the classrooms, an upgraded library with new shelving and a circulation desk, upgraded lighting, new AC units, and much, much more! Future contributions to the St. Joseph Fund will furnish additional technology needs and an interactive S.T.R.E.A.M. room for the school.

Strong participation in the St. Joseph Fund is an important way for us to demonstrate the commitment and dedication of our parents, faculty, and staff to the greater giving community. When applying for foundation or corporate gifts, the most important measure used to evaluate community-wide support for the school is the percentage of key groups who participate in the St. Joseph Fund.
