Support St. Edward School

For more than seventy years, St. Edward School has formed children in faith and learning and sent them out ready for whatever comes next. Tuition does not cover the full cost of that work. Gifts from families, alumni, and friends close the gap and keep a St. Edward education within reach for the families who want it.

Our 2027 Annual Fund

Our goals this year: $80,000 for the Annual Fund and $20,000 for Tuition Assistance, $100,000 in all.

 

Just as important, we are asking every faculty member and every school family to take part. Our goal is 100% participation, and a gift of any size counts.

​

The Annual Fund is part of the school's operating budget. It keeps class sizes small and keeps music, sports, and faith formation strong. Tuition Assistance still matters, but two Tennessee scholarship programs now help families with tuition, so that need is smaller than it has been. If you are deciding where your gift will do the most good this year, the Annual Fund is the answer.

​

Most of our gifts are small ones. Together they carry us.

Turn federal taxes into educational opportunity!

We are excited to share that, beginning in 2027, our school will participate in American GOAL, a new federal tax credit opportunity. This powerful program gives you a voice in how your federal tax dollars are spent.

​

Through American GOAL, individuals can receive a dollar-for-dollar federal income tax credit for contributions that fund tuition assistance for eligible students at participating schools like ours. In other words, you can direct a portion of what you already owe in federal income taxes to support students and families in our community.

 

Key Program Highlights

 

  • Individual taxpayers will receive a 100% federal income tax credit for contributions to American GOAL, designating our school

  • There is a limit of $1,700 that can be contributed for a tax credit per taxpayer per year

  • The tax credit is available to taxpayers in all 50 states

  • There is no national aggregate cap on total contributions

 

How to Participate

​

  • Step 1: Make Your Pledge at www.americangoal.org
    Complete the 2027 American GOAL Pledge Form between January 1 and December 31, 2027 and select our school from the dropdown menu.

 

  • Step 2: Make Your Payment
    Pay American GOAL by check, ACH transfer, or credit card by December 31, 2027.

 

  • Step 3: Take the Credit
    American GOAL will send you a tax receipt for claiming the credit when you file your 2027 tax return in 2028.

 

Instead of your full tax payment going to the federal government, you can choose to invest in students right here in our community.

 

It’s simple: Your taxes. Your choice. Your impact. By participating, you are taking control of your tax dollars and using them to create opportunities for students and families.

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund supports the operations of the school, and anything raised beyond the goal goes directly to tuition assistance. Give once or become a monthly donor.

Tuition Assistance

About one in five St. Edward families receives tuition assistance. Gifts to this fund go straight to families who demonstrate need.

Fr. Breen Scholarship

Awarded to rising K-8th grade students who live the Father Breen motto: be your best, do what is right, in the image of Christ. This need-based scholarship continues his legacy of education and faith.
