When do I make my gift or pledge?
The last months of the year traditionally offer a time for review and reflection. It is a time when many of us pause to consider our blessings and give thanks for the good things in our lives. We hope you will answer the invitation to invest in the future of our youth now. If you wish to make a pledge over a period of time, please note that you have until June 30 to fulfill your pledge.
How do I make my gift or pledge?
You may pay it in full by enclosing your contribution in the envelope provided (contact the Development Office), or you may indicate the amount pledged on the envelope and how you wish to be billed. All checks should be made payable to St. Thomas Aquinas High School
If you are considering a year-end tax-deductible contribution, you may wish to make your gift before January 1. Be aware, however, that gifts received through June 30 will be recognized as gifts to the current school year's Annual Fund and acknowledged in the St. Thomas Aquinas Annual Report, unless anonymity is requested.
Does St. Thomas Aquinas High School qualify for matching gifts?
YES! There are several companies who now match gifts to St. Thomas Aquinas High School. In most cases, gifts will be matched for employees, spouses, and retired employees on at least a 1:1 basis. Some of the major companies in the area that match gifts to St. Thomas Aquinas are Key Bank, The Hoover Company, May Department Stores, Aetna, Merrill Lynch, and the Prudential Corporation. Please consult your personnel office to see if your company will match your gift to the St. Thomas Aquinas Annual Fund Drive..
Adopt-A-Student
Each year a number of students who value Catholic education are financially unable to begin or continue attending St. Thomas Aquinas High School. Because of this, we are continually striving to meet the financial needs of many through our financial assistance program.
The “Adopt-A-Student Program” offers the opportunity to show your commitment to Catholic education by investing in a student in need. Please consider helping a student who wants to attend St. Thomas but is unable to pay the entire tuition. Participants in the program can select the percentage of a student’s tuition they choose to donate. Your consideration of this tax deductible donation is greatly appreciated.
