Ways to Give

The Cardinal Family Fund focuses on the greatest area of need for the school. Your gift, no matter the size, allows us to continue to take every measure to ensure the safety of our students, impacts our ability to employ the best faculty and staff, and helps to fund necessary updates/upgrades to our original 1961 building. Your donation can help us achieve our goals.

Icon of hand and graduation hatScholarships

We strive to be the most affordable Catholic education in Northwest Ohio, but the financial strain of tuition can create a challenge for some families. We believe that every child, regardless of family finances, should have the opportunity to attend Cardinal Stritch. Without the support of scholarships, a Cardinal Stritch education would not be possible for many of our students and families.

A Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) is a 501(c)(3) organization that receives donations and then grants scholarships to eligible students in the State of Ohio. Donors that contribute to Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School & Academy through our  partners at Every Child Every Family receive a tax credit on their Ohio Income Tax.

Any donation above your Ohio tax liability may be taken as a deduction on your federal tax return. Remember, a credit is a dollar-for-dollar amount that reduces taxes owed to the State of Ohio, compared to a tax deduction which reduces a taxpayer’s overall taxable income. See the SGO tab for more information
