Get Involved
There’s always something exciting happening at Catholic Central—and we invite you to share your time, skills, and talents with our community! Whether you’re helping at school events, supporting fundraisers, or serving on committees including the Athletic Association, Parent Connectors, or Building & Grounds, your involvement makes a lasting difference. Volunteering is a chance to build relationships, collaborate with fellow parents and staff, and create experiences that benefit our students and school family.
Roundtable Organization
Founded in 1991, the Roundtable Organization is a distinguished group of supporters dedicated to advancing Catholic Central through dialogue and action. Roundtable gatherings bring together leaders and professionals from diverse fields to exchange ideas, address important issues, and develop meaningful solutions for the future of our school.
Membership involves a five-year (or longer) commitment of $1,000 or more annually, providing both vital financial support and a platform for engaged philanthropy. Together, our Roundtable members help shape the vision and strength of Catholic Central for generations to come.
Annual Topper Gala & Auction
The Topper Gala & Auction is Catholic Central’s signature fundraising event—and the biggest celebration of the year! Proceeds from this special evening provide vital support for quality programs, technology upgrades, professional development, and facility improvements that keep our school strong. By giving or attending, you help create the vibrant learning environment our students and staff need to thrive. Every dollar raised helps continue our mission of providing a bright and successful future for our students.
Annual Fund Drive
Help sustain the excellence of Catholic Central by contributing to our Annual Fund. These gifts bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the true cost of providing a high-quality, faith-filled education. Every contribution—large or small—directly supports our students, faculty, and programs, making an immediate and meaningful impact.
SCRIP Program
Support Catholic Central simply by shopping for your everyday needs! Through the nationwide Scrip program, participating retailers offer gift cards at full face value, with a percentage rebated back as tuition credit when purchased through the school. Rebates accumulate in your CCHS account throughout the fiscal year (July 1–June 30). It’s an easy way to save on tuition while supporting our school.

Endowment Fund
A gift to the Endowment Fund is an investment in the future of Catholic Central. Endowment contributions are carefully managed to generate annual income that strengthens long-term financial stability while supporting faculty development, enhancing academic programs, expanding scholarships, and improving facilities.
Scholarship Funds
Help open the doors of Catholic education to more families by contributing to our "Friends of Catholic Central" scholarship fund. Your generosity provides vital tuition assistance for students in need, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to a Christ-centered education.
Matching Gifts
Multiply the power of your generosity! Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double—or even triple—your donation to Catholic Central. It’s an easy way to increase your impact and further support our mission.
Check with your employer’s Human Resources department to see if your gift qualifies.

Gifts of Stock
Donating appreciated securities—such as stocks or bonds—is a powerful way to support Catholic Central while maximizing potential tax benefits. By making a gift of stock, you can avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable deduction, all while helping ensure our students continue to thrive.
IRA Charitable Contributions
With today's current economic climate, now is a great time to provide a gift through an IRA distribution. Distributions after age 72 (73, if you reached the age of 72 after 12/31/22) are required and are not only tax-free when donated, but also lower your adjusted gross income (AGI).
Donor Advised Funds (DAF)
Donor Advised Funds, or DAF, is a giving account established at a public charity. The 501(c)(3) public charity serves as a “sponsoring organization,” which manages and administers individual DAF accounts.
DAF accounts allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. Donors can contribute to the fund as frequently as they like, and then recommend grants to their favorite charitable organizations whenever it makes sense for them. This allows donors to give when they can, then grant when it’s needed.
-
Contribute: You put cash, stock, or other assets into the account and get an immediate tax write-off.
-
Grow: The money is invested and can grow tax-free inside the fund.
-
Grant: You recommend when and how much money goes to IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charities.
Key Benefits:
-
Immediate Tax Relief: You claim a deduction the year you put money in, even if the charity gets it later.
-
Avoid Capital Gains: Donating appreciated stock or assets means you pay zero capital gains tax on the growth.
-
Simplicity: Major providers like Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or Vanguard Charitable handle all the record-keeping and vetting of nonprofits.
