Give
We believe every young man and woman on our campus has God-given gifts that can impact the greater good of society. Through the Lion’s Share Fund, we are able to provide a four-year experience for our students that is rooted in the Catholic faith, rigorous academics, and abundantly caring faculty and staff. As the main investment vehicle for annual giving, the Lion’s Share Fund enables every member of our community to make a meaningful difference in the lives of each of our students, including the 40% who rely on tuition assistance. No gift is too small or overlooked in importance. Our students leave JSerra inspired for life — and it is your gift that makes this happen. Contribute today and support a tradition of excellence since 2003!

How do matching gifts work?
Many companies offer matching gifts for employee contributions to eligible nonprofit organizations. JSerra Catholic High School is a 501(c)3 and may qualify for a double or even triple match to your donation.
Many employers will also honor volunteer hours that an employee has served to be used towards a donation for a matching gift. Some companies even match retiree or spousal gifts to nonprofits, too.
To find out if your company offers matching gifts, we recommend you search your company’s website or contact your human resources department. You may also see if your employer will match your donation using an online database search at CharityNavigator.org.
Inquire whether or not your company has a matching gift program to maximize your gift's impact. To learn more or discuss your interest in leveraging your giving, please contact 949.493.9307 Ext. 1158.
