St. Mary Nativity School (SMNS) is a vibrant school community enhanced by the active involvement of our families. Families engage in the livelihood of the school by sharing their time, talent and resources as generously as they are able. SMNS is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and that is why we hope that each member of our school community makes SMNSa philanthropic priority.
Our beloved school dates back to 1914 and has been sustained by those who came before us. It is now our responsibility to ensure the same opportunities for this and future generations of SMNSstudents. Every family is asked to contribute financially an amount that will help SMNS “bridge” the gap between what it actually costs to educate each child and the level at which tuition has been set.
With the State of Illinois cutting the Empower Grant, we need to supplement our revenues.
Knight Fund Goal for 2024-2025: $180,000
Total Fundraising Goal for 2024-2024: $200,000
Opportunities for philanthropy whether through financial contributions or volunteering are designed to build community at St. Mary Nativity School. Nothing is more important than coming together to accomplish something that no single person is likely to manage on his or her own.
