Impact Areas
The Cathedral Fund
The Cathedral Fund is our most important fundraising effort of the year, benefiting every aspect of the school and allowing us to provide the transformational education we offer our scholars.
Each year, the Cathedral community comes together to support this mission-critical fundraising campaign. Parents, trustees, alumni, and friends of the school give generously to ensure Cathedral has the resources it needs to offer a generous financial assistance program to 100% of our students, attract and retain outstanding teachers, and support innovative programming that enriches the Cathedral experience for all students.
To ensure affordability for our families, less than 10% of our revenue comes from tuition. That means each year we need to fund over 90% of our expenses. Your generosity makes this possible.
Cathedral Now, Cathedral Forever Campaign
The Adopt-A-Student Foundation’s $60 million Cathedral Now, Cathedral Forever campaign, spearheaded by an unprecedented $30 million match by a generous alum, positions Cathedral to provide transformational educational opportunities for another century. Launched in 2021, we are racing towards the finish line of this historic campaign.
Student Scholarships
Whether you contribute $100 towards a student scholarship or create a named scholarship in memory of a loved one, your contributions directly impact students and their families, making a rigorous, holistic education affordable
Emergency Family Fund
Cathedral is a community, a family. Your generosity enables us to provide emergency financial support to students and families who face unexpected challenges and hardships that may otherwise impact their ability to pay tuition.
Event Sponsorships
There’s no better way to understand the impact of your generosity than to hear directly from our scholars. Join us at one of our annual events to celebrate our mission, gather in community, and recognize how much of a difference your support truly makes.
Capital Investments
Help us preserve and enhance our historic South End campus that serves as a second home for our scholars. Capital investments allow us to provide students with the spaces and resources they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
Gifts in Honor of or in Memory of a Loved One
If you’d like to make a gift to Cathedral in honor or in memory of someone special to you, simply include the name and address of this person or their family, and we will notify them of your thoughtful gift.
