About Us
Since 1910 St. Ignatius School has been graduating students who receive an excellent spiritual, religions and academic education so that they go on to become better people, Catholics and citizens. In December of 1983 a visionary and anonymous donor dedicated to Catholic education made an extraordinary gift of $15,000 to a number of Portland area Catholic schools (including St. Ignatius) with a legal stipulation that the original gift never be spent. St. Ignatius parishioners quickly leapt at this opportunity, organized a board of directors, and incorporated the St. Ignatius School Foundation in 1984 using the gift as seed money. The dream of this original board (based the belief that a Catholic school education was invaluable to children, the community and to the future of the Church) had three main goals:
All donations, large and small, are deeply appreciated.
- to grow the fund so that it would someday cover most, if not all, of the budget of the school
- that families will pay little or no tuition
- make the tuition affordable so that every family that wanted to send their children to the school could do so
All donations, large and small, are deeply appreciated.
