Lion's Share Annual Fund

The Lion’s Share Annual Fund is JSerra's chief annual giving program that supports every aspect of the JSerra experience. All funds raised through this appeal are dedicated to supporting the current school year and are vital to our ongoing operations. This fund provides immediate, flexible resources to maximize impact on our students' education in areas including Financial Aid, athletics, arts, Magnet Programs, faculty and staff professional development, and campus renewal. 

Absolutely! Each and EVERY gift makes a tremendous impact on the lives of our students. Participation in the Lion’s Share Annual Fund means a great deal to our school and demonstrates the JSerra community’s belief in our mission of faith, intellect, and character formation. As in the story of the widow’s mite from the Gospel, what we ask from our generous benefactors is not equal giving but equal sacrifice.

Yes! Your gift to the Lion’s Share Annual Fund is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please consult with your tax professional for further information. 

Our Federal tax ID number (EIN) is 33-0901351.

We ask that members of our community participate in giving to the best of their ability given their financial situation. Whether your gift is $100, $1,000 or $10,000, it’s an important statement of gratitude that shows your enthusiastic belief in JSerra’s mission. EVERY gift matters, no matter the size.

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.
