We also provide a variety of other ways for parishioners, friends, alumni, and school families to support the school. As you can see below each event or funding source provides for tuition assistance, endowment, or areas of greatest need within our school. Donors may restrict their gifts to a certain area. If there is no restriction donations will support areas of need as they arise.
Employee Matching Gifts, United Way, and SCRIP are three easy ways to support our school. Not all employers match donations but some do. Be sure to check with your Human Resources department and find out if your employer will double your charitable donations. If your company participates in the United Way Campaign you can designate Our Lady of Lourdes School as your charity of choice - simply write us in on your sign-up form! Buying SCRIP from Our Lady of Lourdes is a simple dollar for dollar exchange. For example, you use $10 of SCRIP to purchase $10 of groceries, gas, dinner out, etc., and OLL makes a small percentage of profit from the vendor.
