ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING 2023-2024
From the President
Dear Friends,
A few years ago, the worldwide order of Jesuits developed a set of four guiding principles or Universal Apostolic Preferences that are directing and influencing Jesuit ministries across the globe in this current decade. As a Jesuit work, Nativity Prep is especially guided by the Apostolic Preference to “Journey with Youth in the Creation of a Hope-Filled Future.” There are two very real calls to action in that preference statement; as adults, we are asked to accompany young people on their journey and to also foster the conditions which can nurture hope as they create their own futures.
While this sounds simple, there are circumstances in today’s world that too often lead us toward cynicism and perhaps worse, toward indifference. For young people, our hyper-connected world seems to amplify obstacles to hope, while muting hope’s possibilities. With this in mind, I think of St. Paul’s letter to the early Christian community in Rome who faced hardship and persecution for their beliefs.
We celebrate in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit. -Romans 5:1-5
Hope does not disappoint, in fact hope is the very reason for the existence and success of this school. Families choose Nativity Prep with hope-filled hearts, seeking possibility and opportunity for their sons. The boys themselves may see the long school days, summer programs, and abundant homework as tribulations, but they learn to persevere, grow in character, and become filled with the hope of attending some our incredible partner high schools.
Nativity Prep may be a middle school, but our journey with these young men can last for 12 years or more as we support them through high school, college, and beyond. This long-term accompaniment depends on the entire community of students, parents, teachers, staff, trustees and benefactors - all of whom work tirelessly, and give generously to sustain the hope that transforms lives and improves our society.
As an independent, privately funded school, we rely on individuals who care deeply about the future and see hope in this transformative education. I am filled with gratitude for the support that each of you has shared with this school. Thank you for the gift of education because in these times, Nativity Prep is not just an antidote to the trap of cynicism and indifference, it is a source of deep hope, and hope does not disappoint.
With gratitude,
Brian P. Maher, President

I see Nativity Prep as serving a critical need, not just today but for the foreseeable future. In helping to instill the love and the challenge that the boys need to be able to succeed in a world that is not always set up for them to succeed. Nativity gives its students the tools and the foundation to be able to overcome any obstacles.
Winston Tuggle Voice of a Trustee
While working as an admission officer and dorm parent at Milton Academy, I had a chance to meet the Director of Graduate Support, Gadisa Goso (current Nativity Principal), who was there to learn more about the experience of my advisee, Xavier Etheridge (current Director of Graduate Support). I immediately thought, “What is this middle school that is still supporting the success of their students?”
When an opportunity arose to replace Gadisa as the Director of Graduate Support, I jumped at the chance to contribute to Nativity Prep’s success. Little did I know that it would start a lifelong connection.
Today, I’m honored to return to Nativity as the Chair of the Board of Trustees. Nativity is a special place providing a safe space for boys to develop into confident young men. Throughout my 10 years of involvement in various capacities, I’m still amazed to see the program’s outcomes and grateful to be a small part of it. From the impressive high school and college placements to the graduates who return to give back to the school community, Nativity offers an experience that lasts a lifetime.
Nativity has over 30 years of success. As the Chair of the Board, I’m focused on helping to sustain and grow Nativity’s impact into the future. Long-term sustainability and impact depend on the generous support from donors like you and me. Nativity is still early in its journey. I hope to be a part of this community for as long as possible and look forward to seeing a Nativity education positively impact many more young men.

YOUR GIFT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Your future gift, no matter the size, helps ensure that we will be able to serve not only our current students and alumni but also the young men who will follow in their footsteps.
METHODS OF GIVING BEQUESTS
A bequest – or leaving a specific percentage or amount of an estate in a will – is one of the most popular options for making a planned gift to Nativity Preparatory School. Support of this kind can be made in the form of cash, securities, real estate, or other personal property.
LIFE INSURANCE
Life insurance policies that are no longer needed can be gifted to our students by adding Nativity Preparatory School as a beneficiary to the policy. This type of gift can be tax-deductible if Nativity Prep is made the owner of the policy.
RETIREMENT PLANS
Naming Nativity Prep as a beneficiary of a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan or IRA is a wonderful way to support the students and alumni of Nativity Prep. Gifts made from a retirement plan are not subject to estate, federal, or state income taxes, allowing the full value of the gift to be recognized.
CHARITABLE LEAD TRUST (CLT)
A Charitable Lead Trust would provide Nativity Preparatory School with an annual income (percentage or fixed amount) determined by the donor for a term of years. At the end of the term, the remainder of the trust is paid to the beneficiary of the donor’s choice, including all unrealized appreciation and free of transfer taxes.
CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST (CRT)
A Charitable Remainder Trust provides a donor with an annual income (percentage or fixed amount) during their lifetime. At the death of the last income beneficiary, the corpus of the trust would be transferred to Nativity Preparatory School in support of our students and alumni.
CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY (CGA)
Charitable gift annuities, which can be made with gifts of cash or appreciated securities, guarantee the donor a fixed annual income and provide numerous tax benefits.
Legacy Gift
JOHN J. “JACK” COLEMAN
Jack Coleman, a U.S. Navy Veteran and a Boston College graduate, first connected with Nativity Prep in the early 1990s. He was deeply impressed by the school's mission and became a devoted supporter, contributing modestly on an annual basis until his passing on February 21, 2023. As a longtime resident of Belmont, MA, he was well known for his love of drawing, which included many published sports cartoons, personality portraits, and illustrations. In 2008, during his retirement, he devoted several months to volunteering as an art teacher at Nativity Prep. Nativity is incredibly honored to be a part of Jack Coleman’s legacy. His generous gift will have a profound impact, ensuring that our students have the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. Jack’s belief in education as a force for good is a legacy that will continue to shape lives.
His estate gift will be allocated to Nativity’s Endowment and College Promise Scholarship Fund, ensuring the continuation of the school’s commitment to academic excellence, enriching extracurricular opportunities, and life-long support through Graduate Support. His legacy will empower students to carry forward his spirit of creativity and compassion as they shape their futures. Today, Jack’s gift of $599,382 is the largest individual legacy donation in Nativity’s history.

RCORE VALUES
We have embraced a culture that encourages students to prepare for each day with a mindset of readiness. When students start their day at Nativity Preparatory School, they confidently declare “READY,” a reflection of their commitment to our core values, which are embodied in the acronym READY:
RESPECT FOR SELF AND OTHERS
We treat ourselves and others with kindness and respect.
We appreciate and celebrate differences in the community and ensure everyone feels included and valued.
We consider the impact of our words and actions on others and always try to be positive contributors to our community.
We assume the best in others.
E A D Y
EXCELLENCE
We strive for high-quality work that we take pride in.
We are fully present, engaged, and prepared for our academics, athletics, and activities.
We show our work, use precise language, and keep belongings organized.
We are reliable and dependable, following through on our commitments.
ACT WITH INTEGRITY
We stand up for what is just and fair, even when it’s challenging, and even when no one is observing.
We demonstrate honesty and moral courage in all our actions.
We recognize that while everyone makes mistakes, we are accountable for our choices and take responsibility for our actions.
We act in ways that show our commitment to the Jesuit mission of faith and service, making the school and world a better place.
DETERMINATION
We persist through difficult tasks and continue to try our best.
We set ambitious goals and work diligently to achieve them, both in and out of school.
We lean on our community for support and encouragement during challenges.
We embrace challenges and mistakes as opportunities for growth and learn from setbacks.
YES!
We cultivate a mindset of “Yes!”: Openness and enthusiasm towards new opportunities and experiences. We step outside our comfort zones, try new things, and embrace the unknown.
We explore potential interests, discover passions, and develop talents.
We say “yes” to challenges, risks, feedback and possibilities that can lead to personal and academic growth.
OUR MISSION
Nativity Preparatory School is an accredited, tuition-free, Jesuit middle school serving boys of all faiths from low-income families residing in Boston. Staffed by experienced teachers and dedicated volunteers who work closely with families, the school prepares students for success in high school and college. Nativity’s academically challenging and highly structured environment helps students grow in a love for learning and an abiding sense of responsibility to their community. In the Jesuit tradition, the school promotes the intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical growth that inspires boys from Boston to become men for others.
