the legacy Fund

Gifts of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or securities can prove to be the most beneficial way to lend your support. Donations through a trust can provide an opportunity to acquire major tax benefits and receive a return from the assets. Usually funded through appreciated securities or property, trusts can ensure a steady sheltered annual income.

Merit and Need-Based Scholarships of various levels are awarded to young women who demonstrate academic achievement and outstanding leadership qualities.

Bloomberg for Education is used as a tool to bring the real world of finance to Sacred Heart Academy.  We are the first all-girls school to establish a Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab.  The annual cost of maintaining 12 Bloomberg terminals is substantial, but the dividends for our students and the effects they will have on our community are vast.
