Ways of Giving

Since opening in 2009, St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School has been committed to its mission of preparing young men and women to become faith-filled, visionary, and inspirational leaders in service to the Church and the world.  To strengthen this commitment, we rely on philanthropic support from friends and families to help us accomplish our mission.

St. Dominic Savio is blessed to have a multitude of benefactors who support the school in a variety of ways.  Since tuition only partially covers regular operating expenses, fundraising is vitally important in providing much-needed supplemental revenue.  We ask every family to support the St. Dominic Savio Eagle Fund among their favorite philanthropic priorities.  As you read the following pages, you will learn about our giving programs, how they fulfill essential needs, and how you can make an impact on the lives of current and future students of St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School.

gifts of cash

Gifts of cash are tax-deductible in the year the gift is made. The quickest and easiest way to make your gift is online via EFT, debit, or credit card. Mail your check donations made out to:

St. Dominic Savio Catholic High School

Attn: Advancement Office

9300 Neenah Avenue

Austin, TX 78717

gifts of securities

Gifts of stocks, bonds, or other securities can be one of the most advantageous ways of giving. Gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, or other securities will receive a tax deduction based on the value of the security on the date of the gift. With long-term appreciated securities (those held longer than 12 months), you will receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair-market value of your gift and avoid paying any capital gains tax on the appreciation. Please complete our Stock transfer form to process your stock donation. 

matching gifts

Amplify the impact of your gift. Many employers match charitable contributions made by their employees, allowing you to double or even triple your gift to St. Dominic Savio.  Please search our matching gifts database to see if your company offers this benefit and to access the correct forms.

Planned Giving

Planned giving is a wonderful way to create a lasting legacy that reflects your values and generosity. It’s not just for the wealthy—anyone can make a meaningful impact through planned giving. Imagine knowing that the assets and values you’ve built over your lifetime will continue to support causes you care about, even after you’re gone.

There are many ways to get involved, whether it’s through a bequest, a charitable trust, or even a gift of life insurance. These options can provide you with increased income and significant tax benefits, making it a win-win situation. Plus, it allows you to make what could be the most substantial and enduring gift of your life to the school or organization you cherish.

In essence, planned giving is about making a heartfelt commitment to the future, ensuring that your legacy of kindness and support lives on.
