Giving

At The Highlands School, we provide our children with award-winning academics, championship athletics and the building blocks critical to becoming Catholic Christian leaders. Your support is essential for us to continue fulfilling our mission.

Why consider giving to a private school that already charges tuition? Some families tell us they give as a way of saying, “thank you,” for the intangible gifts their children – and they themselves – receive by being part of The Highlands School family. Some give because they know it allows us to support others who cannot fully afford the cost of tuition.

Others give because it’s an opportunity to practice good stewardship, to give thanks for their abundant blessings and to practice the virtue of generosity. We teach our children to be people of upstanding character: giving is one way we demonstrate this character to them.

We encourage giving at any level, by all families, even those receiving tuition assistance, because it demonstrates to our business sponsors and granting partners the commitment our families have to the school.

EMPLOYEE MATCH

What is an employee matching gift / fund?

A matching gift, also known as a matching fund or matching donation, is a charitable gift given to The Highlands School by a matching donor (such as an employer), under the provision that an original donor (such as an employee) first makes a gift toward The Highlands. Corporate matching funds are an easy way to increase your contribution.

Usually associated with corporate grant makers, employee matching gifts often are dollar-for-dollar, but some companies will give double or even triple the original donation. Some companies may also give matching gifts for employees’ volunteer efforts. Procedures vary with each company. Typically, individuals must submit forms to their employers. They usually can get more information about their matching gift benefits from their human resources department.

What is the typical procedure?

As an example scenario, an employee of a bank which matches gifts decides to make a gift to The Highlands School. Since this bank is a matching gift corporation, it will match the donor’s $100 gift to The Highlands at a 1:1 ratio, for a total of $200. In this manner, this donor increases the value of his or her gift simply by participating in the matching program. This is a great way for a donor to double or even triple your gift to the school.

Matching gift programs generally consist of four steps:
1. Individuals donate
2. Donors submit matching gift request to their employer
3. Nonprofits validate grant requests
4. Corporations cut checks

ENDOWMENT FUND

We are excited to offer a permanent endowment that is uniquely ours, the Semper Alitus Endowment Fund at The Catholic Foundation. The fund supports immediate as well as long term annual scholarships for our students. Support of scholarships enables us to continue growing our mission with our existing students as well as reach more families who have the desire to see their children formed in a dynamic Catholic environment. When we are able to grow with additional students, we guide more students to discover the call to become missionaries in whatever state of life they are called to, and challenging and changing culture for the New Evangelization.
