Ways to Give to Central Catholic High School

Through The Fund for Central Catholic, we are able to fulfill our commitment to making an outstanding Catholic education affordable and accessible to every student who seeks it. The actual cost of educating a young man or woman for the year is more than the affiliated tuition charged. Contributions to the Fund for Central Catholic help make up the difference and represent the generosity of the entire Central Catholic community. In addition to providing tuition support, these monies help meet the ongoing expenses of operating and maintaining the high school.
Central Catholic recognizes the following giving levels:

The Saints Leadership Society
Elizabeth Ann Seton Society   $10,000 +
Pope John Paul II Society   $5,000 - $9,999

Named Scholarship Endowments
Endowment scholarship funds ensure Central Catholic can provide the highest quality education to any student wishing to answer the challenge. Gifts specified for endowment purposes are placed in the Central Catholic Foundation and can be designated to support scholarships according to the donor’s wishes. There are a number of ways to show your support for CCHS, some of which may offer you substantial tax advantages. The following list shows the most common gift mechanisms, and we would certainly be happy to discuss any other idea that you may have.

• Cash Gifts - can be a one-time gift, pledged over a certain amount of months.
• Credit Card - Visa or MasterCard can be used to make a one-time gift or regular pledge payments.
• Appreciated Securities - there is a possibility of substantial tax advantages using this method. It is a simple, electronic means to support Alter.
