SUPPORT
The Future of Catholic Education
Support Our Mission
A Catholic education is one of the most enduring gifts we can offer a child—but it is only possible through the generosity of those who believe in its value. Whether it is an hour of your time, a skill generously shared, or a financial offering, your support becomes part of something eternal. When you give to St. Gertrude, you are not simply supporting a school—you are helping to hand on the faith, uphold academic excellence, and shape the next generation of saints and scholars.
Financial Support
St. GERTRUDE SCHOOL ANNUAL FUND
The Annual Fund is vital in closing the gap between tuition, subsidies, and the resources necessary to uphold the highest standards of teaching and learning at St. Gertrude School. Your contribution directly supports critical initiatives that ensure the continued academic excellence for which our school is known. Gifts may be made online or by check, payable to St. Gertrude School with “Annual Fund” noted in the memo line. Please inquire whether your employer offers a corporate matching gift program to maximize the impact of your generosity.
ARCHDIOCESE OF CINCINNATI CATHOLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION - SGO
By contributing to the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Catholic Education Foundation (CEF), a certified Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO), you can directly expand educational opportunities at St. Gertrude School while benefiting from a dollar-for-dollar Ohio state tax credit. Eligible Ohio taxpayers receive up to $750 per individual or $1,500 for married couples filing jointly—effectively reducing your state tax liability while supporting families pursuing a rigorous, faith-rooted education.
Donations can be made securely online through the Archdiocese’s SGO portal or by check using the downloadable form. Please designate St. Gertrude School to ensure your gift supports our students directly.

ST. GERTRUDE SCHOOL ENDOWMENT FUND
The Endowment Fund is essential to ensuring that every student can afford a Catholic education, even if additional assistance is needed or if programs like Ohio EdChoice change or are discontinued. By providing a stable financial foundation, the endowment allows St. Gertrude School to continue offering excellent faith-based formation and academics without relying solely on fluctuating external funding. Your support helps protect the future of our mission and guarantees that Catholic education remains accessible to all families who seek it.
