SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL
Every Donation Makes A Difference
The generosity of parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends enables us to have the best facilities and tools to develop the next generation of faith-filled leaders. Your contributions are vitally important to our students and the quality of their education. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference!
When you give a gift to Bishop McCort Catholic High School, it can be designated to go to the Annual Fund or another campaign initiative or project. Bishop McCort Catholic High School is a 501(c)(3) organization, so all charitable gifts made to our school are tax deductible. In fact, many gifts have substantial tax benefits for the donor. Thank you for your generous support!
Maintaining Our Standard Of Excellence
Tuition alone simply does not cover the costs of educating the current generation of Crushers. Bishop McCort Catholic High School’s Annual Fund gives you the opportunity to join alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and Crusher friends to ensure McCort’s ongoing ability to maintain its exceptional quality of education. Your gifts are used on a daily basis to help support the school’s mission and to meet its greatest needs including:
– Tuition Assistance
– Educational Programming
– Extracurricular Opportunities
– Technology Upgrades
– Campus enhancements and upgrades
Support Our Mission
Give The Gift Of Education
Creating a named scholarship is a great way to support McCort that benefits qualifying McCort students and their families. To establish a named scholarship, a commitment of $500 or more for four consecutive years is required. Donors can create the scholarship in their name or the name of a loved one whom they wish to honor. When you establish a named scholarship, your entire contribution is awarded each year to a qualifying student. Without this support, some students would be financially unable to attend BMCHS.

Leave A Lasting Legacy
An endowment fund is an everlasting way to honor or memorialize an individual or family. A minimum gift of $10,000 will establish an endowment fund with the Independent Catholic Foundation. A minimum $3,000 gift will establish an endowment with the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies. The interest generated from the invested fund is distributed however you designate it while the principle remains in the endowment earning interest. This type of fund is a perpetual commemoration to its namesake, honoring their legacy for future generations. For more information on Endowment Funds, please contact Jeanne Feathers at feathers.jeanne@mccort.org.
The Heritage Society
The Heritage Society is made up of benefactors who have included Bishop McCort High School in their last will and testament or have indicated a deferred gift to the school through some form of estate planning. Their generosity and desire to leave a lasting legacy will make an impact on our community for generations to come through our students.
