Make a Difference for Current and Future Cathedral Students
Annual fundraising is the most essential aspect of advancement at Cathedral. These efforts allow us to continue fulfilling our mission to help students achieve their personal best through a diverse and supportive social environment, a robust curriculum of academic, athletics and arts, and opportunities for emotional and spiritual development in and out of the classroom.
Your support ensures we can continue making these offerings accessible to students from all walks of life, attracting phenomenal teachers and providing the space in which we can change lives and inspire new generations to achieve greatness.
The Competence to See and the Courage to Act
We educate hearts as well as minds. This means we strive to endow every graduate with the ability to perceive what actions are needed to make the world a better place, and the strength to bring about those changes.
Why Support Cathedral?
Nick Dellen '99 explains why he supports the mission of Cathedral and why giving is important to him.
Support Students and Educators Through The Cathedral Fund
The Cathedral Fund makes it possible to continue the mission of Cathedral High School through vital unrestricted giving. Annual gifts of any size to the Cathedral Fund are utilized to provide tuition assistance, classroom equipment, support areas of greatest need, teacher development, athletics and more. Gifts to our Cathedral Fund enable us to continue to fulfill the mission of enrolling students from all walks of life, ensuring affordability, attracting phenomenal teachers, and providing the space in which to change lives.
Events on the Hill
In addition to the Cathedral Fund and other annual fundraising efforts, several fundraising events provide annual support and benefit the Cathedral Family of Funds which supports academic and faculty initiatives, the arts, athletics, technology initiatives, and tuition assistance, or wherever Cathedral needs it most! ShamrAuction is one of the largest fundraisers in the midwest and is always a must-attend event. Cathedral also hosts smaller, more intimate events like the Forever Irish Ladies Brunch and future Irish are invited to Breakfast with Santa and the Easter Egg Hunt!
Scholarship Granting Organization
Our Scholarship Granting Organization allows our donors to make gifts to Cathedral that directly benefit the scholarships awarded to our students who are most in need.
A School Scholarship Tax Credit is available to individuals or corporations who donate to SGOs for the purpose of supporting Cathedral students. Any donation made to an SGO designated for Cathedral will be applied directly to the cost of tuition for incoming or existing students who qualify. By designating your gift specifically for Cathedral High School you ensure that your gift will provide for a Christ-centered education.
