Pope John Paul II High School

 

The Office of Advancement coordinates both the alumni and fundraising activities for Pope John Paul II High School. 

 

Many opportunities exist to support this project with a pledge over three to five years. Naming opportunities are also available for leadership gifts.

 

We encourage you to contact the Office of Advancement at 484-975-6500 x 3006 for additional information regarding this campaign. We would be happy to discuss in further detail the campaign and how your support will benefit our students!

 

 

 

Giving a gift to the PJP Annual Fund provides an unrestricted source of income for all the programs and activities offered at PJP. We encourage all our alumni, parents, grandparents, businesses, reunion classes, and our senior class each to consider a gift to the Annual Fund. Gifts to the Annual Fund may be made from July 1 – June 30 each school year.

Throughout the year, a variety of special events are held as a way for alumni, friends, and families to get together and support PJP. Many hours of coordination go into each of these events to make them a success. We encourage your attendance as well as support through a donation to each event.

The EITC program provides businesses a tax credit for donations made to scholarship or educational improvement organizations. The tax credit is a 75% credit (against taxes owed) if a company makes a commitment for one year or increases to 90% for a 2-year commitment. Businesses must submit each year a one-page application to the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for the tax credit. If there are funds available and the company does not owe back taxes, DCED will send an approval letter to the applicant. The company then has 60 days to make a donation and 90 days to send proof of the donation to DCED. Businesses and any of their operating subsidiaries are allowed to make contributions of up to $300,000 per taxable year. Companies paying the following taxes are eligible to apply:

Sponsor-a-Student 
 

The value of Catholic education is a forever opportunity that a student takes with them throughout the rest of their lives. For some, they need a benefactor who believes in the academic and spiritual foundation of a Catholic education. We encourage you to Sponsor-a-Student who may not otherwise be able to afford this opportunity. During the 2010-2011 school year, the following Sponsor-a-Student levels exist:

 

Full Tuition Scholarship- $6,350

Half Tuition Scholarship- $3,175

Quarter Tuition Scholarship- $1,587.50

Monthly Tuition Scholarship- $635

 

 

 

Many companies offer their employees, spouses, and retirees an opportunity to financially support a favorite charity and at the same time receive a matching contribution from their employer through their Matching Gift program. We encourage you to consult with your Human Resources Department to see if your company has a designated Matching Gift program, what program areas they will support, and what is the maximum amount they will match each year. Make sure to obtain the appropriate matching gift form and return it along with your gift to PJP. We will complete the necessary information on behalf of PJP and return it to your company for processing of their gift.

 

 

Tributes and Memorials  
 

Gifts in honor of an alum, parent, grandparent, student, friend or loved one can be made for special remembrances such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, new arrivals, graduation, holidays, new job, new home, religious observation, or special accomplishment.

 

Gifts in memory of an alum, parent, grandparent, student, friend, or loved one can be made through a donation to the school or by requesting a Mass intention. To request a special Mass, print and complete the special Mass Intention form (link below) and return to the Office of Advancement. 

 

These gifts are truly appreciated by PJP and will be acknowledged to the appropriate individual or family through a thank you letter sent by the Office of Advancement.

 

 

 

 

Planned gifts are important ways to strengthen, enhance, and ensure the future educational experiences for students at PJP.

 

These deferred gifts can be designated as charitable bequests in your will or through other options such as charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, or making PJP a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. These planned giving options allow a donor to control and use their assets during their lifetime, while at the same time including PJP in their estate plans.

 

We recommend you consult with your attorney, accountant, and/or tax advisor when considering a charitable bequest to PJP.
