Gift and Donations FAQ’s.

Is my gift tax deductible?

Yes.  Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization; Tax ID # 59-6033527.  Please discuss with your financial advisor any and all donations.

What are matching gifts?

Matching gifts are a wonderful opportunity for you to double your donations.  Many companies offer varying levels of corporate matching for their employees’ charitable interests.  Please check if your employer has a matching gift program.

Where do my donation dollars go?

All contributions are put directly in to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School’s operating budget.  Your donations bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the overall operating expenses of the day to day running of the school.

Contributions may also be made to provide scholarships to children that may not have the opportunity to attend Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School for financial reasons.

What is a Capital Campaign?

Capital Campaigns are conducted periodically, not annually, and are for the purpose of growth either through the construction of new facilities or major renovations to the existing one.  These campaigns require larger amounts of financial support and are usually pledged over a 3-5 year time period.

Gifts-In-Kind and Volunteer Services

Gifts of goods and professional services may be donated to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School and are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Parents, staff and friends of OLL volunteer hundreds of hours to the school each year. The gift of time is truly appreciated and makes many special programs possible at OLL.
