WHAT IS THE FUND?

The Fund is a tax-deductible corporation (501-c3) designed to invest any donations from the St. Thomas Church and School community, and to build a solid financial foundation for the School. It is designed for anyone in the parish/community who sees value in St. Thomas School, and would like to contribute to its long-term financial health and viability. 

With these invested and growing funds, we hope to 1) provide a solid financial foundation for the school, 2) ultimately lower tuition for students and parents, and 3) eventually provide for higher salaries for the teachers and administration. 

It is a pathway for us to work together for the goal of financial security and the operation of the school for another 100 years of catholic schooling and many generations of future St. Thomas children.

This fund is not part of the Church or the Diocese, but a private group open to all members of the St. Thomas School community.

WHAT ARE WE ASKING?

We all value the education that our students received. And by working together, we can have a positive impact on the lives of many children who will follow us at The Catholic School of St. Thomas
Parish for the next 100 years.

We would ask you to consider a financial donation to the Fund. Your gift today will help to educate the future catholic students of our parish, and south Champaign County.

Thank you for your consideration, and we encourage you to contact one of us to answer any questions that you may have.
