Nearly 25% of students rely on tuition assistance to attend Notre Dame High School. Gifts to support our tuition assistance program help to maintain our tradition of making a Notre Dame education possible for the most qualified students regardless of their financial circumstances. 

Endowment funds are critical to Notre Dame's financial stability. These permanently invested funds provide annual income for financial aid, operations and special awards. These funds reduce tuition dependency, lend increased stability to institutional financial planning and provide bottom-line support for Notre Dame's mission of providing a college preparatory education to students of all backgrounds.

Your employer may also match your gifts, doubling your support for the young women at Notre Dame High School. Through a corporate matching gifts program at your workplace you can make your gift go twice as far. Some companies will also match gifts made by retirees, spouses of employees, and even volunteer hours.

Contact your personnel or human resources department and fill out the matching gifts form used to initiate a match. For questions or to notify us of your intent to match your gift, please contact the Advancement office at advancementoffice@ndsj.org.

Donating a highly appreciated asset may allow you to avoid a significant portion of your tax liability while still receiving a charitable deduction. The gift of an appreciated asset is also a powerful way to support the mission of Notre Dame High School.

Here’s how stock donations benefit you:

• A federal income tax charitable deduction when you itemize
• Deduct the full fair market value if you’ve held the stock for at least one year
• Use your deduction up to 30% of your adjusted gross income; carry any unused deduction forward for up to five additional years
• Avoid paying capital gains tax on all stock donated to Notre Dame High School

Here's how to make a gift of appreciated securities to Notre Dame High School:

1. Notify Notre Dame San Jose

Please notify us of all stock or securities gifts. A transfer document only gives the name of the stock and the value per stock. It can take months to discover the name of the donor who actually made the stock gift unless we hear from you first.

Enclose a letter stating the purpose of your gift. In a separate envelope, include a signed stock power form for each gift.  Note that, except for your signature exactly as your name appears on the stock certificate, the stock power form should be blank. You may obtain a stock power form from your banker or broker.

• Notify us by e-mail: advancementoffice@ndsj.org
• Notify us by mail:
