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

Cotter/WACS Golf Classic

The annual Cotter/WACS Classic has been postponed for this year. When we are able to gather safely, we will have a community event where we can celebrate together again in support of our Catholic schools.

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.
