SAA Giving Day FAQ

List of 14 items.

  • What is St. Agnes Giving Day?

    St. Agnes Giving Day is St. Agnes Academy’s annual giving day. This fundraising event encourages everyone in the St. Agnes community to come together and give back to a school that has given so much to them. For 24 hours, students, alumnae, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends unite to show their support.
  • When is St. Agnes Giving Day?

    St. Agnes Giving Day will run from 8 a.m., Tuesday, May 5, to 7:59 a.m., Wednesday, May 6. 
  • Why should I participate in St. Agnes Giving Day?

    Educating one student costs more than her tuition alone. Almost 10% of St. Agnes’s budget depends on fundraising efforts. Every donation supports our students' growth as leaders of today and tomorrow. From tuition assistance to classroom technology to our exemplary faculty, every gift makes our exceptional educational experience possible. When we each give what we can, whether $5 or $500, we all can all make a big difference in the lives of our Academy women.  
  • Are gifts tax deductible?

    Yes. Gifts are 100 percent tax deductible. You will receive an initial tax letter with your gift confirmation. For gifts of $250 or more, you will receive a tax receipt within 10-15 business days.
  • Can I give to more than one area?

    This year, all gifts will be directed to the St. Agnes Academy Fund. The Academy Fund provides unrestricted dollars, which support every part of the St. Agnes experience: exceptional teachers, faith formation, extracurricular programs, technology, and tuition assistance, which opens our doors to more students.
    If you are interested in supporting another area, please contact Megan Dillingham, Director of Advancement.
