The student’s family applies for assistance and is placed on a list according to need. The school principal allocates the available funds where it will do the most good. There are several methods for you to support our needy students. The first is an outright cash gift; others require no out of pocket expense. They are to purchase scrip, to designate the benefits of various reward programs and to utilize the eScrip Program.

CASH DONATIONS

Your generous gift can help; make the dream of a Catholic education a reality for children in need in our community. Whether it covers the cost of education for a student for a week, month, or year, your cash gift is an investment in the future and is priceless to the child who receives it. Since Saint Catherine Labouré School is a Qualified Charitable Organization, your donations are tax deductible. 100% of your gift will go toward the student's tuition at Saint Catherine's School. If you use a check to make your donation, please write ‘Sponsor-a-Student’ in the memo line. Be sure to take advantage of Employer Matching Programs (see below), which can significantly add to the value of your gift.

SCRIP

By purchasing scrip a percentage of your purchases for gas, groceries, coffee, books, restaurants, and more will be awarded to our school and used to assist our needy students. Most of the popular scrip offerings are available for purchase at the Saint Catherine Laboure’ school office. Contact Ms. Judy Crowson at crowsonj@stcat.org for further information.

REWARDS PROGRAMS

The Galleria Rewards Program donations to the school are based on the value of purchase receipts that are logged at the Galleria Information Desk or when dropped off in the parish office.

Ralphs, Food4Less and Target have reward programs that donate proceeds to local schools based upon purchases made using their cards.

For the eScrip program you register your existing grocery loyalty, credit and or debit/ATM cards online. Saint Catherine Laboure’ School gets credit when you shop at participating merchants using the cards that you have registered.
