There are a number of ways to make a difference for our children...
General Donation – Unrestricted Giving
Your unrestricted financial gifts are greatly appreciated. They allow us to heat our building, hire highly talented and qualified teachers and maintain the daily operation of our school.
Sponsor-A-Child Program
Through this program, prospective donors can sponsor one or more children with a gift of $5,000 each. The program is also open to half sponsorship at $2,500. Donors are then assigned to a specific student whose progress throughout the year can be measured. Students are asked to write to their sponsor regularly and donor and child are formally introduced at a recognition luncheon held each spring. It is a moving experience when child and donor meet and a fulfilling experience for those who generously give to the program.
The Sponsor A Child program is a wonderful way to help the Mission, and allows a donor to get to know the children of St. Augustine’s. If you would like more information about the Sponsor-A-Child program please contact Fr. David Korth, Director of St. Augustine Indian Mission at (402)878-2402 or by email at dmkorth@archomaha.org.
