PHILANTHROPY ADVISOR
End of Year Gift Giving
Remember to maximize your charitable tax benefits by making your charitable gift to Xavier before the end of the calendar year.
You can support Xavier High in many ways that can be advantageous to you and the school. More people are creating family foundations, trusts and donor advised funds for the tax benefits they offer while at the same time helping the school. Gifts directed to financial aid or to the Xavier Annual Fund for unrestricted use go the longest way toward strengthening our ability to provide this education for more students.
IRA Required Minimum Distributions given to Xavier are another way to help students while fulfilling the requirements of the IRA.
When planning for the long term you can name Xavier in your bequest, trust, or as an IRA beneficiary to help students and lessen tax liability for your heirs.
Please think of Xavier as you make your year-end plans. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to celebrating Falcon Giving Days with you for the remainder of the month.

XAVIER HIGH SCHOOL PRAYER - read at the close of school each day
Loving Father,
We ask you to protect the students, faculty and staff at Xavier High School.
Guide us to salvation by following the example of Jesus Christ, your Son.
Inspire us with your grace, to seek both academic success and spiritual wisdom as we use your gifts and talents in service to others.
Help us to find the strength and passion to be leaders and pioneers like Theodore James Ryken, the Xaverian Brothers and those who founded our school.
May we, in turn, accept the challenge to spread the Word of God and make the world a better place for all people.
We ask this, through Christ, our Lord. Amen
Saint Francis Xavier pray for us.
- Chris Danko ’11 and Francis Rowland ’11
