Ways To Give

The All Saints Annual Fund is the highest priority for St. Scholastica each year. This is the most versatile support you can provide. The College will use your gift where it will do the most good, from classroom equipment to financial aid. No matter how large or small, your donation helps our students by strengthening the St. Scholastica experience.

Give to the All Saints Annual Fund

St. Scholastica was founded to serve individuals who were traditionally underserved and underrepresented in education. In it's 109th academic year, the College continues to strive to offer opportunity and access to future generations of Saints. Sponsor a Saint is an opportunity to directly support students through scholarships. Our goal is to raise $500 for every incoming freshman beginning their journey.

These are suggested giving amounts, but any investment will support our Saints!

• $109 to honor the 109th academic year
• $250 to sponsor half a scholarship
• $500 to sponsor a Saint
• $1,000 to name an annual scholarship and meet the student recipient at the scholarship dinner event*

*$1,000 investors qualify as members of the CSS President's Circle and will also receive associated benefits.

The goal of planned giving is to help you plan your estate and charitable giving in a way that benefits you, your family and charity. There are several ways you can make these planned gifts and enjoy tax and income benefits. Designating a gift in your estate plan to The College of St. Scholastica will help you leave your personal legacy in a way that will sustain the College's mission. Such legacy gifts have been — and will continue to be — a valued source of support for the College.

Give to CSS Day 2021 was our most successful giving day ever! We more than doubled our participation goal. Our Saints community surpassed our expectations and more than 700 Saints participated raising more than $130,000. Gifts on Give to CSS Day will support our current and future students in a variety of ways, including through scholarships, Storm's Cupboard (CSS student food shelf), undergraduate research, program support, student conference experiences, athletics, and more. Additionally, every donor who made a gift of $75 or more not only received a CSS branded picnic blanket and one was donated to Student Activities. We are excited to report that more than 425 blankets will be donated to Student Activities and used to welcome new Saints to campus in the fall of 2021.

Thank you for your support! Your gifts will enable CSS students from all walks of life to follow their purpose.
