Giving Opportunities


By joining with Cardinal Gibbons, donors fund outstanding academic, spiritual, fine arts, and athletic programs, provide financial aid, enrichment for educators, along with building and grounds improvements on behalf of over 1,500 students each year.


Ways to Give

Annual Giving - The Cardinal Gibbons Fund

Developing the full potential of each and every Cardinal Gibbons student is possible only because of the generosity of our entire school community. Your unrestricted, annual gift to the Cardinal Gibbons Fund provides the School with the financial resources needed for exceptional learning opportunities that nurture our students' minds, bodies, and souls. 

Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of each child Catholic education. Nearly 5% of our budget comes from the Cardinal Gibbons Fund and our endowment. 

The Cardinal Gibbons Fund supports spiritual and leadership retreats, tuition assistance, technology, fine arts and athletics, and co-curricular activities. 

Planned Giving

Planned Gifts ensure the long term future of Cardinal Gibbons and allow donors to leave a lasting legacy. 

Donors are invited to be part of the Cum Deo Society, which recognizes and celebrates members of our community who have included Cardinal Gibbons in their estate plans. 

Joining the Cum Deo Society is easy: name Cardinal Gibbons as a beneficiary of your will, transfer ownership of your fully-paid life insurance policy to Cardinal Gibbons, name Cardinal Gibbons as the beneficiary of your retirement plan, IRA or Donor Advised Fund, or another planned gift. 

If you would like to learn more about planning your legacy at Cardinal Gibbons, please contact Anna White Hosea, Director of Advancement, at AnnaHosea@cghsnc.org or 919-704-7363 x163.

Donor Advised Fund

Cardinal Gibbons welcomes donors to recommend grants from their Donor Advised Funds, also know as a DAF. A donor advised fund is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. If you have a donor advised fund, DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to Cardinal Gibbons, directly from your DAF (as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization is participating).
