The 1919 Society

JOIN THE 1919 SOCIETY:

Established in 2020, The 1919 Society recognizes the sustained annual support of distinguished, leadership-level donors.  Joining The 1919 Society entitles each donor to a number of benefits at one of six giving levels.  Furthermore, it is an opportunity for donors to take their rightful place among Hill’s philanthropic leaders.

The 1919 Society recognizes donors who make an annual leadership-level gift at one of the giving society levels.  Membership in the giving society allows you to play an important role in the financial well-being of St. Joseph Hill Academy and to make a powerful statement about your commitment to our mission of providing an affordable, high-quality, Catholic education to our students.  Induction into The 1919 Society, means much more than joining an elite group. Rather, members make a vital contribution to our academy that ensures that we can continue to meet the mandates of our mission and maintain our highly respected values.

The chart below outlines the six different levels of giving and corresponding benefits.  Membership at all levels is determined by gifts in each current fiscal year from July 1 to June 30.  Membership benefits increase according to the size of the donor’s gift.  We invite you to join The 1919 Society by making a leadership-level commitment today!

Why join The 1919 Society?  For over one hundred years, St. Joseph Hill Academy has set the standard for outstanding K-12 education. We are proud to educate students who are prepared to face the future with faith, hope, determination, and a conviction that they will make a difference in the world.   We reflect on how far we have come, from our founding in 1919, to the outstanding and widely respected educational institution we are today. We credit the dedicated Daughters of Divine Charity, our outstanding students, parents, faculty and administration, and alumni for our success.  However, none of this would be possible without the support of our loyal donors. 

A widely known and highly regarded educational institution, much of the Academy’s success has been due to the financial support of alumni, parents, faculty, corporate and foundation partners, and our many distinguished benefactors.  Our donors have funded student scholarships, supported teaching innovation, financed major capital improvements, and helped lay a strong foundation for Hill’s future.  Without the support of our donors, St. Joseph Hill would not be the outstanding institution it is today.

Give today and take your place in The 1919 Society!
