Magi Fund
The most direct way to impact our school and students.
The Magi Fund is the basis of a comprehensive Advancement Program. It helps to sustain operating expenses along with enhancing programs and services offered to students and faculty.
The fund is made of gifts from parents, faculty, staff, board members, grandparents, parishioners, and friends. All donations are unrestricted contributions that support the mission of Epiphany of the Lord Catholic School.
FAQ’s
Frequently Asked Questions
The Magi Fund helps sustain programs, activities, and investments that are not covered by tuition. Simply put, the Magi Fund is the most direct way possible for parents, grandparents, parishioners, community members, staff and friends to impact the future of Epiphany of the Lord Catholic School and its students. Your investment on an annual basis, at a level that you are comfortable with, helps raise necessary funds for important school objectives.
The Magi Fund is necessary to sustain the life of the school through enriched academic and student programs, as well as faculty support. Tuition does not cover all the goals that we would like to achieve. Therefore, a charitable tax-deductible to the Magi Fund gives the best opportunity for all to support our efforts at ECS.
Raising tuition to the actual cost of educating each student would place too large a burden on many families, making it impossible for their children to attend Epiphany of the Lord Catholic School. By containing tuition costs through your support of the Magi Fund, we are able to fulfill its commitment to attracting talented as well as diverse students and faculty.
Additionally, donations to the Magi Fund are 100% tax deductible, and many donations qualify for additional contributions from corporate Matching Gift Programs.
The revenue generated through other fundraisers such as the Gala and the Fall Festival help to support the school, but do not offer enough support to meet what we are trying to accomplish for our children at ECS.
You are not in this alone! Beyond the assistance from the Parish investment and tuition assistance, parents, staff, grandparents, parishioners, parish ministries, and friends are invited to contribute. Additionally, many employers sponsor matching gift programs.
Giving levels are an approach to securing several gifts at all levels. If the Magi Fund is to be successful, it must reflect the balance between leadership gifts and broad participation. We want 100% participation, but we also need for those families that can afford to lead to do so. The Epiphany of the Lord Society levels have been formed to recognize all families who give $1,000 or more, but all contributions, including Patron Levels make a big difference.
The Magi Fund has been designed to afford donors an opportunity to pay their pledge any time before June 30. We ask all pledges to be made by the end of September. Donations may also be made by automatic recurring gifts through our online system to pay towards pledges.
Matching gifts are gifts that an employer will give to an educational institution or other non-profit as an employee benefit by matching the gift made by an employee.
In the Magi Fund, we will give full credit to the donor for any gift they make as well as any match their employer makes. In many cases, this can be a wonderful way to increase your gift to a higher gift level. For example, a gift of $250 from a donor, matched by their employer on a 1:1 basis for an additional $250, will credit the donor with a $500 gift to ECS.
The campaign kicks off in early September. Funds will be accepted for this school term until June 30 of the current school year.
Recurring giving is an easy, automatic way to support Epiphany of the Lord Catholic School that works for your budget and schedule. It is convenient and customizable for your needs!

Each contribution plays a huge role in the life of ECS students.
We are so grateful for gifts from alumni parents. Epiphany is lucky to have parents that are invested in our mission even after their child(ren) has graduated. Our alumni move on to bigger things, but we hope their parents will see the value of an ECS education and continue to give back. Your gift can help give students of today the same opportunities afforded to our alumni.
