Saint Xavier Annual Fund                                   Donate Now

Charitable support to Saint Xavier High School enhances the many programs, equipment and facilities on the campus. Through the generosity of alumni, parents and friends, St. X is able to provide a quality Catholic education in the Xaverian Brothers tradition to numerous young men each year. Through the financial assistance program and with the assistance of some of the most up-to-date teaching facilities in the area, St. X continues to deliver a well-rounded program for its diverse student population. There are many ways to make a gift to St. X. These methods of giving fit into two categories-Current Gifts and Deferred (Planned) Gifts.

GIFTS FOR CURRENT PROGRAMS

Types
- A Gift of Cash, most often in the form of a personal check payable to Saint Xavier.
- A Gift of Stock may be transferred to Saint Xavier, avoiding any capital gains tax.
- A Gift of Property-real or personal.
- A Matching Gift from a corporation. Several hundred U.S. companies participate in this program.

Gift Restrictions
Although many donors choose to allow the school to use their gifts where they are most needed, several special programs and projects are funded through restricted gifts each year. These include gifts to endowment programs and for enhanced equipment and facilities.

Acceptance
On occasion, Saint Xavier is presented with a unique gift opportunity that requires the institution to formally accept a gift before it is actually made to the school. For that reason, Saint Xavier reserves the right to formally review any gift, regardless of its asset form, before it is receipted.

THE ANNUAL FUND

The Annual Fund has made aggressive strides over the last several years. These strides are a direct reflection of alumni, parents, and friends making gifts each year. The Annual Fund has the distinction of meeting the critical needs of over 400 families requesting tuition grants each year. The Annual Fund has also continued to finance the purchase of equipment and funding for special projects through its unrestricted gifts. The Annual Fund continues to involve several hundred alumni and parent donors each year. In 2001, a new record was set in alumni participation with 5,432 alums making a gift. The Annual Fund has also been responsible for several other enhancements to the campus including computers and other equipment needed to maintain the quality of academic excellence for which we are so well known.

The Annual Fund has grown from $146,000 in 1986-87 to the 2007-2008 record of $1,526,812.

For the convenience of all alumni, parents and friends, the Annual Fund accepts Visa, Master Card, and American Express to make a gift. Simply charge-by-phone by calling (502) 637-8485, click here to donate online or mail your gift to:
