GRACE SCHOLARS
GRACE Scholars is a student scholarship organization (SSO)
established by the Archdiocese providing tuition assistance
to families with financial need. Donors can designate specific
schools – like St. Joseph Catholic School – to receive their donation.
A taxpayer in Georgia can “use” part of his Georgia income
tax to provide scholarships for students entering Catholic Schools
in Georgia. This occurs because the taxpayer receives a 100%
tax credit against his GA tax liability for the amount donated to
GRACE Scholars. Therefore, money that was going to pay taxes is
supporting Catholic education for those in need.
GRANDPARENT LEND-A-HAND
As part of the Annual Fund,
the Grandparent Lend-A-Hand
Campaign has become an
essential part of our fundraising
efforts. Established in 2010,
this important fund has raised
money to improve the school
Media Center and add
technology upgrades to our
school. Thank you Grandparents
for your unending support of
our school.
SILENT AUCTION & GALA
Each winter, SJCS hosts an
Annual Silent Auction & Gala.
Fun and creative themes have
included Speakeasy Soiree, Blue
Ribbon Award, Back to the 80’s
and in 2019; we celebrated our
Pirates and Parrots - A Night
in Key West. Attendees bid on
thousands of dollars in donated
products, vacations, and services,
in addition to the popular SJCS exclusives like Carpool Queen
and the beloved classroom creations! Attendees take part in the
lively Paddle Call, where donations are directed towards upgrading
technology in the classrooms to include 6 interactive panels, 18
coding Ozbotz, whereas auction proceeds are directed to future
capital improvements. Thank you to the committee volunteers,
sponsors, and attendees for your continued support of this
fun-filled fundraising event.
