MAKE A GIFT

At Cotter Schools, we strive to model the values of faith, service, and community as we encourage and support our students. Our Cotter Schools' Mission is to hold our students to the highest academic standards and challenge each of them to develop their full potential.

While other Catholic schools have struggled to keep their doors open, we have been blessed to see increased enrollment. Your contribution makes the Catholic school tradition possible for our Ramblers! The gifts received during this time directly impact our students, programs, facilities, and our faculty.

Please consider supporting Cotter Schools by making a contribution today. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Sister Judith Schaefer, President of Cotter Schools

For further information, contact Sister Judith Schaefer at 507-453-5000.

the Cotter Auction

Sadly, we need to announce we are unable to gather in our Cotter gymnasium for the 2021 Cotter Auction. We feel, at this time, it is not safe to bring us all together indoors. However, we are excited to announce a new fundraiser that will temporarily replace our Cotter Auction. Chipping In for Cotter Schools - A golf and Cotter-branded basket fundraiser supporting Catholic education in Winona (early childhood through 12th grade).

Chipping in for Cotter schools

A golf and Cotter-branded basket fundraiser supporting Catholic education in Winona (early childhood through 12th grade).

This new fundraiser is an opportunity to purchase exclusive Cotter-branded items while supporting Catholic education in Winona. Only 300 exclusive Cotter-brand baskets will be available for purchase. No bidding, no being out bid, it’s yours for as long as they are available! These exclusive Cotter-branded items will not be available anywhere else.

The other exciting part of the Chipping In for Cotter Schools fundraiser is the golf tournament. This year the tournament will be held Friday, June 4, 2021 at The Bridges Golf Course. Save the date and plan to participate. We have many new hole games planned along with several of the traditional ones.

Gifts of Cash or Securities

The most common way our generous donors give back. Cash, check, credit card or securities. You can make a one time gift or set up a monthly recurring gift. We also receive memorials and honorariums for members of our Cotter family.

Gifts of stock are a great way to get the full tax deductible value of the sale of your stock, as well as, avoid the capital gains tax. Make sure you gift the stock to Cotter Schools and don’t sell it yourself. Call us to facilitate your gift.

Some companies match gifts as well. Check with your company today!

Cash gifts can also be allocated to our students through a scholarship. In our attempt to keep tuition affordable we are blessed with generous donors who help offset the cost of educating our students.

Gifting Your Legacy

A planned gift is any major gift, made in lifetime or at death, as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning. This gift leaves a lasting legacy for the future of our students and school, and be beneficial in offsetting the tax burden.

There are several ways to give: securities, annuities, charitable remainder trusts or property. Contact our office for more information on how to set up your planned giving legacy.
