"Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which He has given you." - Deuteronomy 16:17
Whether it’s a parish, school, Catholic organization or ministry, discover the joy that comes from seeing the impact of your support across the entire Archdiocese of Omaha!
Everyone across northeast Nebraska (and beyond!) is invited to join in the third annual Joy of Giving celebration on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Whether you participate as an organization, a donor or both, you will be helping to build One Church, inviting all to encounter Jesus' unending love and live in His mercy.
Joy of Giving builds awareness and financially supports the outstanding work of those who do so much for so many throughout the 23 counties of the Archdiocese of Omaha.
The Christ the King Educational Trust was formed in 1979, under the direction of the late Monsignor Robert J. Gass and is now professionaly managed by a board of directors with endowed assets of $5.5 million.
Growth of the trust comes from online donations, gifts from estates and fundraisers, such as SPICE and provides for tuition assistance and special projects. The long term goal is to grow the Trust to $15 million in order to pay one third of the operating budget of the school through interest earned.
The Christ the King Legacy Society encourages and, in a special way, recognizes people that make provisions in their estate plans for Christ the King Parish and School. By making a planned gift now, you will enhance Christ the King Church in the future.
A planned gift is any charitable contribution (immediate or deferred) that considers the donor's personal tax, financial and estate planning circumstances. The most common types are listed below:
As with most independent schools, Christ the King's tuition does not cover the entire cost of educating each child, which currently runs approximately $9,000 per student. Christ the King relies on an annual stipend from the Educational Trust and support from the parish to cover the difference.
By supporting the Fund you are sending a message that you believe in the Christ the King School mission. Your generous donation will ensure the vision of our parish founders will continue.
