Annual Giving

Introducing the JR. BILL FUND, the new name for annual giving at St. Louis U. High.

By rebranding to the Jr. Bill Fund, we‘re emphasizing in a clearer way how your generosity supports the full SLUH experience for our beloved Jr. Bills who receive Scholarship support.

This year, we'll be creating and sharing content throughout the year on this page that highlights the impact of your giving to support scholarship, academics, co-curriculars, and faith formation.

These gifts are solicited through various methods, including:

Direct mail and personal letters
Email blasts, including multimedia content
The St. Louis U. High Day celebration and phonathon
Class specific efforts

Alumni are also asked to support the major SLUH events during the year, including the SLUH Scholarship Golf Classic and Cashbah.

The current SLUH fiscal year is July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

Parent Annual Giving

June 2020

Dear SLUH Parents,

The heart of our Jesuit identity and mission is to serve all young men based on their ability to succeed rather than their families’ economic circumstances.

Your generosity makes that possible, and allows a SLUH education to bring people together from all across the Metro area as Jr. Bills.

I hope you will take time to prayerfully consider a donation to the Parent Annual Fund for the 2020-21 school year.

The details on this website will hopefully provide you with information to make an informed decision about your level of support.

I am grateful for your consideration, and hope to have the chance to meet you over the course of your son’s time at SLUH. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.

AMDG,

John M. Penilla ’99
Director of Alumni and Parent Giving

What does Parent Annual Giving support?

WHEN MIGHT YOU BE ASKED TO MAKE A GIFT TO SLUH?

The Parent Annual Fund is a vital piece of the fundraising done by SLUH during the year. Parent annual giving begins with the Tuition Mailing in the summer, which includes FACTS details and the ability to add a donation to your tuition payment.

A dedicated Parent Annual Fund effort will take place beginning in October, culminating with the St. Louis U. High Day celebration on November 12. All parents are asked to prayerfully consider a donation, and return their pledge card by November 2, 2020

In addition to the Parent Annual Fund, parents are a driving part of the Cashbah Auction (April 2021). Our classic and storied dinner auction is a tremendous celebration of the SLUH community. Attendees are asked to consider a contribution to the Fund-A-Need portion of the evening.

WHY DOES SLUH ASK FOR A GIFT?

We recognize tuition is a significant, sacrificial expenditure for SLUH families. But, we ask for additional contributions to the school for three reasons:

Tuition is set at $2,303 less than the true Cost of Education. Contributions help bridge this gap.
Our goal is to achieve 100% participation. Parent giving is a sign of pride and gives families a chance - regardless of the gift size - to show their support for their son’s SLUH experience.
Parent Annual Giving is vital to helping SLUH: maintain needs-blind admission; offer uncapped levels of tuition assistance; and have the ability to admit young men based on their ability to succeed, not their economic circumstances.
