The St. Clare Fund

The St. Clare Tuition Assistance Fund

Financially helping our students remains an urgent need in order for them to experience a quality Catholic High education, especially in these uncertain times. The Catholic High School of Baltimore is asking that you consider giving a special gift to support Catholic High's young women who need assistance so that they can continue their education.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to give at this time, a worthy young woman waits “for the light that is you.” Please donate and give to our Let Your Light Shine, St. Clare Tuition Assistance Fund. Help to continue the legacy of The Catholic High School of Baltimore!

You are the light!

Planned Giving

Gifts of Life Insurance
If you own a life insurance policy and no longer need its protection, you may transfer the policy's ownership to Catholic High. The gift will generate a charitable income tax deduction approximately equal to the cash surrender value of the policy on the date of the gift. If you prefer, you can designate Catholic High as a partial or full beneficiary of the life insurance policy.

Gifts of Securities
Supporting Catholic High with a gift of long-term appreciated securities allows you to avoid paying taxes on the capital gain you would have realized if you had sold the stock and donated the proceeds. You also receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift.

Bequests
Naming Catholic High as a beneficiary in your will helps to ensure our school's future. You may elect to make an outright gift of funds specified at either a designated dollar amount or as a percentage of your estate. Become a member of the Tau Society by including Catholic High in your will. Giving through an estate provides you with a gift of a lifetime. Life insurance, annuities, trusts, or investing through your will are excellent ways to make a lifelong testimony to an institution that has profoundly impacted your life.

Other Ways to Give

Why does Catholic High need an annual fund? Doesn't tuition cover all costs?

Catholic High strives to keep tuition affordable for all families. We rely on the Green & Gold Fund to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual operating costs of running our busy school.

Why does my participation matter?

When applying for grants, foundations ask us about the percentage of participation among our various constituents, including the percentage of alumnae, parents and friends donating to the Green & Gold Fund. Your gift, no matter the amount, helps us secure other funding for the school because the higher participation rate among our most loyal benefactors the better. Your gift does matter.

Why invest in Catholic High?

Catholic High is a school on the move, progressing into the future with great promise. We maintain high academic standards, promote leadership, and encourage a lifelong commitment to Christian community service.
