I CAN'T GIVE VIA CREDIT CARD, DO YOU ACCEPT CASH OR CHECKS?

Yes. We gladly accept gifts by cash or check, payable to St. Bernard Prep School.

You can mail your gift to: St. Bernard Prep School, Attn: Tyler Hooper, 1600 St. Bernard Dr. SE, Cullman, AL 35055. Please note "30 Days of Thanks and Giving 2021" or "Fall Giving Day Project 2021" with your cash gift or on your check.

Please include a note with your gift if you wish to remain an anonymous donor.

WHAT IF THE GOAL IS EXCEEDED?

Any additional gifts beyond our initial goal are happily welcomed! That means more money will be divided up equally for each grant!

WHAT EXACTLY WILL MY GIFT SUPPORT?

We've asked all of our teachers, our nurses' office, and library to develop a "wish list" of up to 3 items totaling approximately $1,000. These items have already been approved as classroom needs by our school leadership. 100% of all money raised will be divided equally and issued to each teacher / area as a grant allowance to purchase these needs.

Items from these lists include everything from calculator caddies, laptops for student engagement, Chromebook charging carts, maps and GIS software for Geography, new sheet sets for the nurses' office, textbooks, books to complete classroom libraries, printers and computers for student needs, photography supplies, instruments, band chairs, balances and scales for Chemistry, to financial periodical subscriptions for Economics and more. The list goes on...the need is great.

CAN I DESGINATE MY GIFT TO SUPPORT A SPECIFIC ITEM?

No. All money raised will be divided equally among all SBP teachers / areas. Your gift will be a contribution to the full project and is considered a general donation to the campaign. Thank you for supporting all of St. Bernard Prep's work.

IS MY CONTRIBUTION TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?

Yes. Charitable contributions made to St. Bernard Preparatory School, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

We always recommend consulting with your tax advisor before you make a charitable gift. Make a year-end charitable contribution today to count towards your 2021 charitable giving totals for your 2022 income tax returns.

CAN I DESGINATE MY GIFT TO SUPPORT A SPECIFIC TEACHER OR AREA?

No. Internal Revenue Service regulations and tax laws do not allow a donor to designate a gift to a specific person -- it invalidates the charitable nature of the gift. Thank you for only making your gift payable to St. Bernard Prep School for the 30 Days of Thanks and Giving project.

WILL I RECEIVE A RECEIPT FOR MY CONTRIBUTION?

Yes. We will send you an emailed receipt shortly after you complete your transaction. A mailed acknowledgement letter / tax receipt will follow.

I'M HAVING TROUBLE MAKING MY GIFT AND/OR I HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY GIFT CONFIRMATION EMAIL. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

If you have issues with the payment process, and/or if you haven't received your confirmation email and tax receipt, please call (256) 255-5857 or email thooper@stbernardprep.com for assistance.

WHEN WILL MY CREDIT CARD BE CHARGED?

Immediately after finalizing your gift on the donation page. Upon completing your donation form, the button you click to submit your gift will inform you of the complete total that will be charged to your credit card upon approval.

IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN?

No, we do not offer payment plans or recurring gifts. Our online system only accepts single, one-time gifts.

WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?

Charitable gifts to St. Bernard Preparatory School are not refundable.

HOW CAN I CONTACT ST. BERNARD WITH A GIVING-RELATED QUESTION?
