Donors can create a scholarship fund to enable future generations to benefit from the opportunities that Catholic Education provides. Donors can support existing funds, create their own named fund, or establish a fund to honor or memorialize friends, teachers, family members, or other loved ones. Schedule a meeting with the Catholic Community Foundation of Southwest Florida to learn how you can give to a Catholic School.

Students, like Alexander, at St. Catherine Catholic School, can grow in their relationship with God while learning in a Catholic setting. Catholic schools create an environment where faith is lived and learned every day, helping students grow spiritually as well as academically.
