Endowment
The Saints Legacy Endowment provides long-term financial stability and creates opportunities for innovation and growth. One of our primary goals for building our endowment is to create a steady source of income thereby minimizing the increase in tuition costs and making Catholic education sustainable.

Join us in supporting our Endowment
Gifts made to the Saints Legacy Endowment will provide income to the school for years to come. The endowment fund is an established investment fund separate from Saint Thomas Aquinas' day-to-day operating fund that is invested and used to provide student scholarship funds for Saints now and for many Saints to come.
A Legacy that Lasts Forever
Your gift makes a lasting impact, supporting current Saints and keeping Catholic education affordable for future generations.

What is an Endowment?
An endowment is a lasting investment made possible through generous gifts made to any one of our endowment fund types. As donors contribute to the principal, the investment generates income over time—while the principal itself remains intact. As the endowment grows, its impact on our school and students becomes even greater, creating a legacy that far surpasses the original contributions.
Long-term Support
The Saints Legacy Endowment fund provides long-term support in two essential ways:
- Named Scholarships help make an Aquinas education accessible to deserving students.
- Guardian Angel Fund offers emergency financial assistance to families facing unexpected hardships.
Endowment Fund Types
Your investment in the Saints Legacy Endowment provides current students and future generations of Saints access to a transformative Catholic education that nurtures them academically, spiritually, socially, artistically, and athletically.
Giving Options
Matching Gift Program
Matching gifts from corporations are a substantial and welcome way for donors to help Saint Thomas Aquinas obtain additional funds. Matching gifts, directed for the same purpose as your gift, will be counted as a contribution over and above your personal gift or pledge payment. Depending on your employer, your gift could be matched 1:1, 2:1, and sometimes 3:1.
Please use the search tool to see if your company will match your donation.

Endowment gifts are a way for Catholic parents, grandparents, and alumni to come together to support and be a witness for the school that exhibits a love for the education students receive at Saint Thomas Aquinas.
