Support St. Martin’s School – Investing in Our Children’s Future
At St. Martin’s School, we depend on the generosity of the community to provide resources that enable us to accomplish our mission of educating children in a student-centered learning environment committed to academic excellence and the development of strong characters embedded in the Gospel values and Catholic tradition.
Our primary sources of revenue are tuition and donations. There are many ways that members of our community can take an active role philanthropically. Your donation can allow us to offer financial aid to a student that might otherwise be unable to attend St. Martin’s. It can also support students’ academic achievements along with religious activities, curricular enhancements, technology upgrades, and facility improvements.
An investment in St. Martin’s School is an investment in our children and our faith community. All gifts, no matter the size, are gratefully appreciated.

Endowment Funds
Honor and Memorial Gifts
Gifts made in honor or memory of an individual are considered unrestricted gifts and are used for the immediate needs of St. Martin’s School. The opportunity to honor or remember friends, family, and loved ones are many and include holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions. In addition, many gifts are made when a person dies, as a tribute to that person’s generosity. These gifts are usually cash gifts, but may be given as a planned gift as well.
Matching Gifts
Many corporations have demonstrated their support of education by matching their employees’ gifts to schools, up to a specified amount. Before you make a gift, you may want to ask whether your employer (or your spouse’s employer) participates in such a program. Certain restrictions apply to matching gifts; please consult your company’s personnel office for further information.
