How You Can Help Support Our School
There are many ways to donate, but regardless of how (or how much) you choose to contribute, you will make an impact on Saint Paul’s School and the students entrusted to our care. Please search below for the option that fits you best. If you would like to donate in a manner not listed below, or if you have any questions, please contact Stephen Dale, Senior Director for Development & External Relations, at s.dale@stpauls.com or by calling (985) 892-3200 ext 1970.
Cash Gifts
The most direct and easiest way to support Saint Paul’s is to make a gift by cash, check, or credit card. Cash and checks can be delivered to the Finance Office. Use the secure link below to donate by credit card.
Gifts of Securities
Gifts of securities, including appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds, may provide special tax advantages. By donating appreciated securities that you have owned for longer than one year, you receive the same income tax savings as you would by making a cash gift. You also avoid tax on the capital gains built up in donated securities. Proceeds from the sale of these assets may be directed to any fund or program you wish.
Company Matching Gifts
Current and retired employees may be eligible for a matching gift program offered through their employer. Matching gift programs allow you to double (or, possibly triple) your total gift to Saint Paul’s. If your company matches charitable gifts, please send the matching gift form provided by your employer via email to s.dale@stpauls.com, or via postal mail to:
Saint Paul’s School

We are grateful to the many companies that have made matching gifts to Saint Paul’s.
Endowment Gifts
A gift to Saint Paul’s Endowment strengthens the long-term financial sustainability of the institution. These gifts provide both immediate impact and lasting support for future generations of Wolves. A variety of giving options are available based on your interests and personal circumstances. To learn more about Endowment Gift opportunities, please contact Stephen Dale, Senior Director for Development & External Relations, at s.dale@stpauls.com or by calling (985) 892-3200 Ext. 1970.
Sponsorships
Saint Paul’s offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities throughout the year, supporting both school events and student activities. From athletic programs to special events, sponsors play a vital role in enhancing the student experience while gaining meaningful exposure within the school community. Sponsorships are a win-win: they help advance our mission while offering businesses and individuals a visible way to invest in something lasting and impactful. To learn more about current sponsorship opportunities, contact Stephen Dale, Senior Director for Development & External Relations, at s.dale@stpauls.com or by calling (985) 892-3200 Ext. 1970.
Gifts of Real Estate
Want to make a big gift to Saint Paul’s School without touching your bank account? Consider a gift of real estate. Such a generous gift also helps you because when you donate appreciated property you have held for longer than one year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction, and you may reduce or eliminate capital gains tax. Also, you no longer have to deal with that property’s maintenance costs, property taxes, or insurance. You do not have to hassle with selling the real estate. You can deed the property directly to Saint Paul’s, or ask your attorney to include it in your will or trust agreement.
In-Kind Donations
Gifts of equipment, vehicles, furniture, or services relieve pressure on school budgets by providing needed resources without requiring capital outlay from the school. In-kind donations may also qualify for various tax deductions.
Volunteer
Giving your time is one of the most meaningful ways to support Saint Paul’s. Just as financial gifts make an impact, donations of your time and talents help strengthen the fabric of our community. Whether helping at events, assisting with our annual giving drives, or lending your expertise on our Development Advisory Board, your involvement makes a difference. To learn more, contact Missy Broussard, Advancement Operations Coordinator, at m.broussard@stpauls.com or by calling (985) 892-3200 Ext. 1973.
