WHAT IS THE SPARTAN FUND?
The Spartan Fund, the annual giving program at De Smet Jesuit, enriches every facet of the Spartan Student experience. Your generosity to the Spartan Fund advances our mission and provides transformative student experiences.
PARENT ANNUAL GIVING
De Smet Jesuit asks each family to prayerfully consider filling the tuition gap, which is the difference between the cost to educate a student and the actual tuition charged. For this school year, that amount is $3,400 per student.
Funds raised beyond tuition provide game-changing programs and facility improvements. These gifts directly impact the areas of greatest need, which include
- Classroom upgrades
- Facility improvements
- Advanced technology
- Faith formation
- The Arts
- Athletics
Please help us reach 100% parent participation this school year.
De Smet Jesuit High School is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law, making a meaningful impact on the lives of our students while offering potential tax benefits to you.
