The Founder’s Society recognizes unrestricted Annual Fund leadership giving of $1,000 or more each year.
It is named in gratitude for those who came before us and whose sacrifice, faith, and perseverance helped make Saint Joseph’s Catholic School possible.
Through their annual generosity, Founder’s Society members help provide the financial flexibility Saint Joseph’s needs to advance its Catholic mission and say “yes” to opportunities that strengthen the education and formation of our students today and for generations to come.
Founder’s Society Giving Levels
| Circle | Annual Gift | Story Behind the Name |
|---|---|---|
| Founder’s Circle | $1,000–$2,499 | Honoring those who believed the school was possible and began the work of bringing it to life. |
| Leap of Faith Circle | $2,500–$4,999 | Moving forward in faith, our founders displayed the courage to say “yes” to the mission before there was certainty that it would succeed. |
| Saint Michael’s Circle | $5,000–$9,999 | We are grateful to St. Michael Lutheran Church, whose one-dollar lease of the first Augusta Road house gave Saint Joseph’s its first home and allowed the mission to take root. |
| Washington Street Legacy Circle |
$10,000–$24,999 | As the next step in the school’s early journey, Saint Joseph’s moved from its first home on Augusta Road to a Washington Street store front as the school continued to grow, adapt, and persevere. |
| Miracle on the Hill Circle |
$25,000+ | This is the phrase used to describe the founding and growth of Saint Joseph’s: a school that began with faith and persistence when nearly every sign suggested it would not succeed, and grew into the mission-centered community it is today. |
