Thank you for your interest in supporting Immaculate Conception – St. Joseph School. As a current school family, parishioner, alumni or friend, your support in any size is greatly appreciated and will have a lasting impact on the students, faculty and entire ICSJ community. Thank you.

Immaculate Conception-St Joseph School is a vibrant community school, which runs on the energy of an innovative faculty and administration and a committed group of families. We encourage all families to donate their time and available financial resources to the school if at all possible.

If you are interested in donating your time, we encourage you to check out the volunteer opportunities detailed in the Parent Association section of the Parents Center.

Our school is funded by the generosity of many school families and community members, who donate money to help expand our school’s offerings. There are many ways to support Immaculate Conception-St Joseph School financially:

Annual Fund

Each Immaculate Conception-St. Joseph Family is asked to make a $1,500 donation to the Annual Fund to close the gap between tuition and the cost to educate a child.

Each year Immaculate Conception-St. Joseph School hosts a black tie gala, “Sparkle.” This annual event is the school’s primary fundraiser, and the proceeds support the ICSJ Annual Fund. We encourage all parents to attend Sparkle, solicit donations for the auction and to bid generously on auction items.

 

In lieu of individual teacher gifts, families are encouraged to donate into a Faculty Christmas Fund distributed to all faculty and administration.

If your company offers a matching funds program for employee donations, your annual fund contribution could be eligible for this distribution. Please contact your corporate giving department to learn if your contribution to Immaculate Conception-St. Joseph School is eligible for a matching fund donation. 

 

Empower Illinois - Tax Credit Scholarship

Through the Illinois Invest in Kids Act, donors may designate their donation to an Archdiocese of Chicago school and, in exchange for that donation, receive a 75 percent Illinois state tax credit. This program has been a blessing for many low-income families, providing access to a Catholic education, which would have otherwise been unaffordable.
