Special Project: Teacher Salary Endowment
In 2022, at the 38th Annual Deacon Dinner Auction & Gala, the Teacher Salary Endowment reached its initial goal – we raised the first $7 million. But there is still work to do to close the gap with the salaries of their peers.
We are blessed to have the phenomenal teachers that we do – each one devoted to delivering on our mission to teach the total person by inspiring virtue and excellence as taught by the Catholic Church. The Teacher Salary Endowment is critical to retaining our beloved teachers who work with each student to help them grow and learn in an environment that fosters faith, learning, community, service, and excellence.
To date, we have raised more than $7 million for the Teacher Salary Endowment Fund, which has resulted in a $2,085 permanent increase in teacher salaries (as of the 2023-24 school year) – above and beyond organizational increases – since 2016, when it started producing funding. In order to increase salaries for our teachers to be competitive with public school colleagues, the endowment needs to continue to grow to reach $15 million. And YOU can help by making a gift to the 40th Annual Deacon Dinner Auction & Gala's Special Project: The Teacher Salary Endowment.
Whether you donate online now, or in person at the Deacon Dinner Auction & Gala on April 27, your gift makes a huge difference in the lives of our teaching staff now and in the future.
When you make a gift of $5,000 to $50,000 per year on a one-time or five-year pledge you can receive a 40% ND State Income Tax Credit on the amount of your gift. This greatly reduces the out-of-pocket cost of your gift when you receive this credit back. For more information about the tax-credit, download the file below.
