ONLINE GIVING
The Aquinas Fund
The Aquinas Fund is the primary focus of Aquinas Catholic Schools’ annual fundraising efforts. As in most parochial schools, tuition and parish support cover only a portion of the overall cost of educating each student who benefits from an exceptional learning experience. Unrestricted gifts to the Aquinas Fund go to work immediately to enhance the classroom experience for students and staff at all five Aquinas Catholic Schools buildings. Donors may make unrestricted gifts to the Aquinas Fund through the annual appeal or at any time.

Guardian Angel Fund
The Guardian Angel Fund is an emergency fund to help families through an unforeseen hardship (ex. loss of a job, illness, natural disaster, etc.). The Guardian Angel Fund can help families with tuition costs when assistance is needed. These funds are distributed on a case-by-case basis.
The Guardian Angel Fund was created by the late Mr. James Kiffe, who relied upon the help of others to attend Aquinas in the late 1930's and early 1940's.
To donate to this fund, please contact the ACS Development Office.
