Ways to Support Our School System
The Bosco Catholic School System relies on the support of our alumni, families and friends throughout the year for assistance with our day to day operating costs not covered by tuition or parish subsidies.
With these funds we can work to provide the most up to date technology, enhance existing programs, or have the ability to add new projects and programs to make sure our students have every resource needed to get the best education we can provide.
With your gifts of support, we can make that dream a reality.
The list below provides information for just a few of the numerous ways to give.
Outright Gifts – Cash, Checks or Credit Cards
-
If you would like to make this type of gift, please fill out our pledge form and enclose it with your gift.
-
Checks should be made payable to:
Bosco Catholic School SystemPO Box 106Gilbertville, IA 50634
Pledge Your Gift
-
You may make several payments during the course of the school’s fiscal year which ends on June 30.
-
The amount and number of installments is entirely up to you.
Matching Gifts
-
Many employers have matching gift programs and will match part or all of the charitable contributions made by their employees.
-
To find out if your company has a matching gift program, contact your Human Resources department. If they do, just complete a matching gift form and return it to the Development Office. PO Box 106, Gilbertville, IA50634.
Gifts of Securities
- Gifts of appreciated assets, such as stocks or mutual fund shares, are another way to provide immediate support to the school.
- These types of gifts allow a donor to avoid all capital gains and also receive a deduction for the full market value of the stock at the time of the gift.
Gifts to the Bosco Catholic School System are tax deductible as provided by law. Receipts are provided for tax deductions.
Other opportunities to support our school system:
We are all asked to share our time, talents and treasures. You can volunteer to help coordinate and organize events and projects. You can also volunteer to work at these events and projects. We always need help with the Fun Run (Fall), organizing the can shed, concessions and admission at extracurricular activities and all of our planning committees could use more help.
Thank you for volunteering your time to help make these events successful!
Target Visa Card
By using your Target VISA card with every purchase (at Target or elsewhere just like any other VISA credit card) you can designate the Bosco System (or Don Bosco or Immaculate Conception) as the recipient of the money Target donates. Visit www.target.com for more information and to designate our school to receive the proceeds from your purchases.
Can Redemption
You can still donate your cans and bottles to the school by dropping them off at the can recycling shed on the North side of the high school.
HyVee Cash for Students
Save your cash register receipts and turn them into the school office. HyVee donates $1.00 for every $200 in receipt tapes. These receipts are due each year by April 30th.
