Faith + Values Appeal for Catholic Education

Support school programs that promote faith, friendships, and community

The story of how important your support is to families who yearn for Catholic Education but cannot afford it is a story rooted in the Gospel. Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Lk 18:16)

With the Gospel at its heart, Catholic schools provide a loving, nurturing environment where the entire community of parents, teachers, students and supporters are committed to academic and personal success.

The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland is the sixth-largest Catholic School system in the United States serving nearly 40,000 students. Thanks to the generosity of donors who believe in the value of Catholic Education, more than 4,000 students receive need-based tuition assistance annually.

 

Imagine the impact you can have when you give a deserving student a Catholic Education through a gift to the Faith and Values Annual Appeal. Your donation carries an additional benefit of helping to make our schools the best they can be, by making it possible to invest in “three T’s:" Teachers, Tuition, and Technology.

  • Teachers (and School Leaders)- A portion of your donation will be invested in professional development, leadership, recruitment and retention programs for diocesan leaders and teachers. 
  • Tuition Assistance: A portion of your donation will provide scholarships and financial aid to deserving students, ensuring that no child is denied the opportunity to receive a Catholic education due to financial constraints.
  • Technology: We are committed to investing in resources to advance our technology infrastructure, providing ongoing tech training for students and staff, and ensuring that every student has access to the digital tools they need to succeed.

The 2024 Faith and Values Appeal supports tuition assistance and innovative initiatives like the Aspiring Leaders Program to help our teachers grow and develop their faith and skills for the betterment and benefit of their students. The Aspiring Leaders program is a crucial way to ensure future principals and assistant principals serving in the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland possess the tools necessary to be successful. Now in its third year, this innovative program has helped 50 future leaders of our Catholic schools tap into their potential and prepare them for these important roles.
