Capital Giving

Securing the Future

Capital gifts allow St. Christopher’s to complete campus building projects, significant renovations and improvements to the campus. Facilities, like our new Arts Center for example, are capital projects funded entirely through philanthropic support. So as to not impact tuition, our new facilities include maintenance endowments specifically designed to fund the costs associated with ongoing upkeep.
