Charitable Giving at DeSales

DeSales relies upon the generosity of its extended family of alumni, past and current parents and other friends of the school to continue providing quality educational programs within our tradition of faith and brotherhood.

The Advancement Office manages all charitable giving to DeSales in an effort to help cover the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of operating a high school.

DeSales is grateful to the over 1,300 benefactors who partner with us in our mission of Catholic education.

If you would like to invest in the young me of DeSales high school by making a charitable contribution, please send your gift to DeSales at the address below or contact the DeSales Advancement Office at (502) 366-6131 for more information. We welcome your support through:

• The Annual Fund (Gifts are unrestricted, i.e. not designated for any one project)
  

• Teach-nology (Gifts help pay the costs incurred in providing every student an IBM Thinkpad laptop within a completely wireless T1 network)
  

• Financial Aid (Gifts supplement the amount of need-based tuition assistance
  the school is able to grant)
  

Most donations are received in the form of cash or check. We would also be happy to speak with you about making a gift of appreciated stock, making a planned gift, such as including DeSales as a beneficiary in your will, or making a charitable contribution that offers a special tax benefit to the you, such as a charitable remainder trust.
