Katie Fund

Meeting Student Needs and Embracing New Opportunities

St. Kate’s currently provides $2.7 million in institutional endowed and annual scholarship funds. While these funds offer financial relief for Katies, many still experience financial gaps and needs throughout the year. The Katie Fund, the University’s annual giving and emergency fund, provides the additional financial support our students need to meet gaps in tuition, access to technology and resources, and more. The generous support of President’s Forum members and our other caring donors who made gifts to the Katie Fund, through general contributions or during our two special days of giving, yielded remarkable funds for our Katies in need. In November, Give to St. Kate’s Day raised $526,174 from 877 generous donors, and in February, the Give to Honor Her campaign honored 600 inspirational women while raising nearly $45,000. The Katie Fund was especially critical this year in meeting the sudden and immediate needs of students due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Special thanks to all of our Katie Fund donors who support students in need and make it possible for them to complete their degrees.
