Ways to Give

Tuition covers only a portion of the full cost of educating each student at SSSAS. Like most independent schools, we rely on philanthropy—through The Saints Fund, endowments, and capital gifts—to bridge the gap and provide the exceptional educational experience that defines our school.

There is no one right amount. Participating in The Saints Fund with a gift that is meaningful to you and makes you feel good about supporting SSSAS is most important! We receive gifts at every level and each gift whether it's $25 or $2,500 makes an immediate impact on the lives of our students. Last year our leadership level gifts (which begin at $2,500) raised nearly $1.5M for our school, while more than 50% of all gifts received were under $250.  

Yes. St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, and all gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. After making a gift, you’ll receive a confirmation and a tax receipt.

Yes! Gifts can be made in honor or in memory of a classmate, teacher, coach, family member, or friend. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate someone’s connection to SSSAS while supporting the school’s mission. Honorees or their families will be notified of your thoughtful gesture.

Planned giving allows you to support SSSAS through your estate or financial plans—such as a bequest in your will, a charitable trust, or naming the school as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. These gifts leave a lasting legacy and help sustain our mission far into the future.

​​An endowment is a long-term investment in the future of SSSAS. Endowment gifts are invested, and a portion of the collective earnings is used each year to support priorities like financial aid, faculty development, and academic programming—providing stability and impact for generations to come.

Capital gifts support projects like new buildings, campus renovations, or program innovation. These transformative contributions enhance our campus and learning environments—helping to ensure that SSSAS continues to meet the evolving needs of our students and community.
