Fundraising Programs

 
St. Coletta & Cardinal Cushing Schools of Massachusetts, Inc. is a tax-exempt charitable organization.  We are able to offer many activities and life experiences beyond  those that are paid for by tuition because of the generosity of our contributors.  Your donations retain valuable employees, build stronger facilities, and enrich the lives of our students. 

We are privileged to be the recipients of many valuable gifts, both large and small, both monetary and in-kind, both of treasure and talent. 

The Development Office supports the following fundraising programs:

  • Annual Appeal
    The Annual Appeal is sent by mail in November.  We ask for unrestricted donations and use those donations to sustain daily activities of the organization.
     
  • Matching Gifts
    Many employers match, dollar for dollar, the donations their employees make to charity.  If your employer has a Matching Gifts program, see your Human Resources department about doubling your donation to Cardinal Cushing.  
     
  • Springtime
    Springtime is an annual event that raises substantial money for the our organization.  Funds raised have been used in building projects, campus enhancements, endowment, technology and professional development at Cardinal Cushing Centers.  Sponsorships, auction item donations, advertising, and ticket sales are ways you can participate in Springtime. 
     
  • Grants
    Corporations and foundations provide grants for programs such as The Rhythmic Arts Project, a dental clinic, vision clinics, sports appreciation and others that are special areas of interest to organizations. 
     
  • In-Kind donations
    In-kind donations cover goods, services, and expertise.  Gifts range from sporting goods equipment, to man hours to lay computer cable, to marketing advice.
