Make a Gift

Tuition covers about 70% of the true cost of a Saint Stanislaus education, but donations from parents, alumni, and friends provide vital funding for the people and programs that set the school apart.

Financial gifts help recruit and retain outstanding teachers, support small class sizes, expand academic choices, and offer a broad range of programs in the arts and athletics. These gifts help ensure that every student receives a high-quality experience that tuition alone cannot provide, making community support essential to our success.

Raising tuition to cover every program’s full cost would make Saint Stanislaus unaffordable for many families. By seeking additional support instead, the school can remain accessible to students of all backgrounds, ensuring that financial circumstances don’t prevent talented young men from attending.

To make a gift of stock, please contact Sam Doescher, Advancement Director, at sdoescher@ststan.com or (228) 467-9057 ext. 231 for assistance and instructions.

Planned giving—sometimes called gift planning or legacy giving—is a way for supporters to make a significant impact on organizations like Saint Stanislaus. These are major gifts arranged during a donor’s lifetime or through their estate plans and are often larger than what could be given from regular income. A planned gift can be made during life or after death, as part of a donor’s broader financial or estate planning.

Common types of planned gifts include:

• Bequests: Gifts made through a will or trust, such as cash, securities, real estate, or personal property.
• Life Income Gifts: Arrangements like charitable gift annuities or trusts, where donated assets are invested and provide income to the donor or beneficiaries for life or a set period.
• Retirement Plans: Naming Saint Stanislaus as a beneficiary of a retirement account or a portion of its remainder.
• Other Options: Creative strategies like charitable lead trusts and gifts of appreciated assets.

To learn more about planned giving and how to make a lasting impact, contact Sam Doescher, Advancement Director, at sdoescher@ststan.com or (228) 467-9057 ext. 231.
