St. Joseph Endowment Funds
Making a difference
Generations of children have benefited from the gift of Catholic education from St. Joseph School. That gift has come from many sources: tuition paid by committed parents, significant annual contributions from St. Joseph Parish, vigorous annual fundraising, and the dedicated efforts of our school's volunteers, staff and teachers, and support from alumni.
Yet, the increasing cost of education makes an adequate source of Student Financial Aid a critical component of the St. Joseph School budget. Thanks to a group of visionary - and very generous - parents and friends of St. Joseph School, our school is fortunate to have a substantial and growing endowment.
The St. Joseph Endowment Funds comprise two private, nonprofit corporations:
-
• St. Joseph Endowment Fund, incorporated in 1979
-
•St. Joseph School Fund, incorporated in 1990
The Endowment Fund and Parish School Fund are governed by a board of directors consisting of the pastor, the principal of the school, the chair of the School Finance Commission, the president of the Parent's Association and a number of other benefactors and friends of St. Joseph School
