Welcome Members of The 1919 Society

Launched in July 2020, The 1919 Society recognizes the sustained annual support of distinguished, leadership-level benefactors.  Introduced to the Hill community during our Annual Fund Appeal, our goal was to enroll approximately 50 members. Much to our joy and excitement we surpassed that goal and set a goal of 100 members by 2020 year-end.  We are pleased to announce that the 1919 Society has welcomed 93 members as of the end of February 2021.

The 1919 Society donors had the choice of directing their gifts to support the Greatest Needs or Scholarship Support/financial aid for the High School or the Elementary school. They also had the choice of donating to the Sister M. Charlotte Gulban Memorial Scholarship fund, a newly created scholarship in honor of Sr. Charlotte. A number of donors elected to support the school’s re-entry plan by underwriting items that were needed by the school to support re-entry and synchronous learning.

Membership in The 1919 Society entitles each donor to a number of benefits at one of six giving levels.  It is an opportunity for benefactors to take their rightful place among Hill’s philanthropic leaders. Membership in The 1919 Society allows donors to play an important role in the financial well-being of St. Joseph Hill Academy while making a powerful statement about their commitment to our mission of providing an affordable, high-quality, Catholic education.

The following chart outlines the six different levels of giving and their corresponding benefits.  Membership at all levels is determined by gifts in each current fiscal year, which is 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 gift today! www.stjosephhillacademy.org/donate/ 

*** As a sign of our heartfelt appreciation, Founding Members of The 1919 Society receive a membership gift of a hand drawn, inked and stamped work of art especially designed for each donor by talented Alumna and Hill Parent, Rita Polidori O’Brien, Founder of SCRIBE New York.
