Ways to Support ECHS
We at East Catholic High School are grateful to the many alumni, parents, and friends who, by their thoughtful and generous financial support, have enabled the school to sustain its outstanding tradition of academic and extracurricular excellence for more than half a century.
There are many ways for alumni and friends to show their support of East Catholic High School.
Donate to Our Fund for Today
We seek to attract unrestricted gifts through the East Catholic Fund for Today to help underwrite operating costs and bridge the gap between tuition income and the actual cost to operate the school and its programs. We use these funds for scholarship assistance, fine arts and science equipment, athletics equipment, and computers and technology. Please show your support of ECHS through on-line donations.

Endowment and Scholarship Funds
We have established several endowment and scholarship funds. These restricted funds make awards to deserving students in the form of scholarships or financial aid. Each year, a number of families elect to establish new endowed scholarships to remember or honor family members (living or deceased), colleagues, or friends. We welcome and appreciate the establishment of new funds.
Estate Planning
We welcome gifts via bequests, personal property, securities, trusts, and life insurance policies. Attorneys, accountants, financial planners, and trust officers are available to answer questions about estate planning. Please remember East Catholic in your will. For more information about any of these opportunities, contact the ECHS Advancement Office at (860) 649-5336, ext. 6234 or by email to Jana Tierney.
Fund A Need
Fund A Need is an innovative way to assist East Catholic students at any level that suits the donor's interest and pocketbook. Some choose to help defray the cost of a student's tuition; others may want to help in purchasing textbooks. Each gift directly benefits a current East Catholic student. While we greatly appreciate gifts at any level, we would like to suggest the following giving levels and the areas they will benefit:
- Gold: $1,000 for tuition assistance
- Silver: $500 for uniforms
- Bronze: $250 for text books
- Blue & White: $100 for field trips
- Patron: $50 for general needs
