GIVE TODAY. TRANSFORM TOMORROW.
Every Verbum Dei student is $10,000 short of a fully funded education — before he even walks in the door.
Tuition and each student's own Corporate Work Study earnings cover part of the cost of a Verbum Dei Jesuit education. The rest — roughly $10,000 per student, every year — is made up by donors like you.

WAYS TO GIVE
Real Programs. Real Students. Your choice of impact.
Sponsor-A-Scholar
$10,000 gap · $1,000–$40,000 tiers
Bridges the real annual funding gap for one student after his own work-study earnings and his family's ~$1,200 contribution.
Annual Impact Fund
Provides essential resources for academic support, mental health services, extracurricular activities, and more — the flexible fund that keeps every program running.
Fund-A-Job
Places students in nonprofit roles as part of Corporate Work Study, giving them real work experience while helping mission-driven organizations afford student talent.
Endowed Scholarship
Creates a lasting legacy that provides ongoing financial support to Verbum Dei students, year after year.
Coach Lalo Athletics Fund
Funds training and development for Verbum Dei's network of coaches and mentors, plus nutrition, equipment, and travel resources for student athletes.
Planned & Legacy Giving
Stock gifts, donor-advised funds, charitable bequests, IRA distributions, and more — ways to leave a lasting legacy while making the most of your own tax and estate planning.
TAX-SMART GIVING
Give strategically, keep more of your impact.
1. Appreciated Assets
Gift stocks, bonds, or real estate directly — avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation and claim a deduction for the full fair-market value.
2. Bunching Contributions
Consolidate multiple years of giving into a single year to exceed the standard deduction and qualify for greater tax savings.
3. Estate Planning
Name Verbum Dei as a beneficiary in your will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy — support the school while reducing estate taxes.
4. Donor-Advised Funds
Contribute to a DAF for an immediate tax deduction, with the potential for tax-free growth over time before it's granted to Verbum Dei.
