GIVING
A GIFT TO EDUCATION IS ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING AND MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTIONS YOU CAN MAKE.
Every year, thousands of De Smet Jesuit alumni, parents and friends make important contributions that provide critical support and create exciting opportunities for students and faculty. Some give their time, some give their money, and some do both. These people have chosen to invest themselves in De Smet Jesuit with extraordinary generosity.
De Smet Jesuit High School relies on tax-deductible donations to enhance the Spartan experience for every student. We invite all members of the DSJ community—parents, alumni, faculty, staff, parents of alumni, grandparents and friends—to join together philanthropically in support of the transformational mission, values and strategic vision of the school.
Your gift in support of any of our funding initiatives helps advance the strategic vision of the school.
Every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact on current and future Spartans!
