The School Major Projects line item is being used as a part of the Called to Serve as Christ Capital Campaign to assist with receiving matching funds for companies who will not match for churches. These restricted funds donated using this line item will be used solely for the campaign school projects (Big Toy, Tuckpointing, Bathroom improvements).
The rebate from funds donated directly to the campaign can be used for any of our projects, those pertaining to the church (stained glass windows, tuckpointing, doors) or school, and will be spent in conjunction with the restricted donations based on the prioritization of our projects as seen on our website.
This fund will remain active until December 31, 2024, to give people four years to pay off their pledges and receive the corresponding corporate match. Individuals are asked to split their pledge – part directly to this Major Projects line item, which can be matched, and part directly to the Called to Serve as Christ Campaign to help with our wider goals, which can not be matched by those who will not match to churches. Donations directly to the Called to Serve as Christ campaign for those splitting their pledge will still include a rebate to the parish.
Please keep in mind that when giving by credit card, our processing fees are about 3%, meaning less money for us to accomplish these projects. Donations through EFT directly from a checking or savings account incur no fees.
