• An endowed gift is a gift that keeps on giving. Endowment is essential to the long-term financial stability of our school. Anyone who is interested in the continued success of Saint Henry School can make a gift that will benefit the school’s future. A gift made to our school through this fund is invested and only the income is spent, never the invested principal. This fund is designated to offer you the opportunity to support our school so that future generations may benefit from its continued excellence.

Tuition Assistance

• We are aware of the burden tuition places on some families who are committed to Catholic education but may not be able to manage full tuition. Saint Henry School is committed to assisting families who have demonstrated financial need. If you share our belief that Saint Henry School plays a significant part in developing the future of our faith, please return the commitment card with your tax-deductible financial contribution.

Kindergarten/Library Materials and Furnishings

• This fall we will be creating new and/or renovated space for the library and kindergarten classrooms and the new space will need new furnishings and materials. The right space with the right furnishings and materials are important to ensure our children continue to receive the excellent educational opportunities at our school. Would you like to help? We will be in need of new desks, tables, shelving, cabinetry, instructional materials, books, etc. These items, purchased through your donation, can make a difference for our school and our children.

General

• By designating this area, you give the school the right to choose where they best see fit to use your donation.

Matching Gifts

You may not be aware of it, but it is possible that the company for which you work has a matching gift program. Many large corporations and several smaller companies support these programs, which either match contributions dollar-for-dollar or at a set percentage of your paid gift. Double or even triple the impact of a gift by obtaining a matching gift from participating companies. Learn if your employer has a matching gift program by contacting a representative from your company’s Personnel or Human Resources office.

What is the time line for the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund Campaign coincides with the school’s fiscal year which is July 1 through June 30. All gifts and pledges are due by June 30, 2008 in order to be counted for this campaign year and for an individual to be recognized in the SHS Annual Report.

How much should we give?
Only you can decide. We ask that you remember that your contribution, along with those of all our donors, will directly enhance a young child's catholic education. The only gift too small is no gift at all!

By supporting the Annual Fund each year, you are helping to continue Saint Henry School’s tradition of providing the highest quality catholic education. On behalf of our students, thank you for your contribution. Simply click here to obtain the commitment card.

Checks

The following are fundraisers that ask no money from Saint Henry School supporters.

KROGER

A Kroger Gift Card is an easy way to earn money for Saint Henry School. Every time you shop at Kroger with your card, up to 4% of all your future purchases made with the card can benefit SHS. For every dollar spent with a Kroger card, Kroger will donate 4% back to SHS. It’s simple! Here’s how the program works:

• Purchase a Kroger card through the Saint Henry School office for $5. The card is credited with $5 you can spend immediately at any Kroger across the country.

• During your next visit to Kroger, add value to the card, up to $500 at a time, for future grocery purchases. You may do this at the customer service desk or at the checkout lane with cash, credit/debit card or check. (You can even use your frequent flyer credit card to add value, and get credit for miles!)

• Use your card each time you shop at Kroger to pay for your purchases.

• Whenever the value on your card runs low, add value, up to $500, to your card. Cards that carry a $0 balance for 90 days will be inactivated and removed from the program.

HARRIS TEETER

It's Easy!

• Stop by the Customer Service desk to get your VIC card and link it to Saint Henry School (#2350)

The Home & School Association is made up of all families in the school. Everyone is welcome to volunteer.
