Why Donate?

We need your donation support! The cost of education continues to rise, driven by growing expenses for insurance, academic resources, and classroom technology. Your support, whether directed to Columbus Catholic Schools as a whole or designated for Scotus Central Catholic, St. Anthony Elementary, St. Bonaventure Elementary, or St. Isidore Elementary, creates a significant impact. Together, we can secure a bright future for our students and schools. Thank you for being a vital part of this mission!

Providing a Catholic education requires a strong foundation of support. Educational costs for each student are funded by four key sources: tuition, donations and fundraising, parish support, and endowment contributions. These resources work together to keep tuition affordable while maintaining the highest standards of education and faith formation. Your donation is vital to sustaining these efforts and empowering our students to thrive.

By giving, you are doing more than funding education—you are helping to build the faith, character, and values that guide our students to lead lives of purpose, service, and compassion. Catholic education transforms lives, and with your support, we can continue to inspire young minds, deepen their faith, and prepare them to make a meaningful difference in the world. Together, we can ensure Catholic education remains a vital part of our community for generations to come.
