Ways to Give

Since our founding in 1959, Crespi Carmelite High School relies upon the generosity of others to help advance our mission. Just as our academic success hinges on the dedication of our faculty, staff and students, we depend upon the support of alumni, parents and friends who provide us with the resources necessary to transform boys into Crespi Men. Be a part of Crespi’s future by giving in the following ways:

1. Crespi Man Fund crespicmf.com The Crespi Man Fund (CMF) is the school’s highest fundraising priority, and it has been key to navigating funding through this pandemic. The CMF provides Crespi with the flexibility to address areas of greatest need so that we never have to sacrifice our Carmelite mission nor our academic standards. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, CMF revenue allowed for the following:

p Fifty-five students received additional financial support, enabling them to remain at Crespi and graduate with their Celt brothers.

p Immediate implementation of safety enhancements and precautions to prevent COVID transmission.

p State-of-the-art technology upgrades to deliver an online platform for distance learning.

p Increase in faculty and staff salary and benefits to reflect their willingness to adapt and work harder and longer than ever before. p Preservation of diverse course offerings that may have been cut due to a lack of funding.

“As a Crespi board member and Chairman of the Advancement Committee, I often experience the depth of the common values shared by our Crespi men, and acknowledge that it is highly attributable to the generosity of our Crespi community. It is the ongoing support of the Crespi Man Fund that enables continued growth and expansion of services that enhance our ability to enforce these beliefs and values throughout the Crespi journey and beyond.” — Michele Sjolander, mother to Joseph Sjolander ’18
