Founders' Circle and Gift Clubs

The Founders' Circle comprises donors who display exceptional interest in the advancement of the school by virtue of their gifts of $1,000 or more. It recognizes the financial stewardship of so many members of our community in supporting the school's operating and capital needs. Their generosity serves as an inspiration and is most appreciated. Alumni who are within 15 years of their graduation date are invited to become members of the Young Alumni Founders' Circle, with staggered contributions of less than $1,000.

Every year, members of the Founders' Circle are invited to a special dinner to thank them for their support of NWC. To see pictures from this year's event, which was held on Oct. 12, 2012, click here.

The Founders' Circle includes the following gift clubs:

Legacy Society $100,000+

These donors have an unwavering belief in the vision and future of Northwest Catholic. Gifts in this society are usually allocated for capital improvements or endowed scholarships. Many of these generous gifts originate from thoughtful estate planning or a special bequest.

Presidents' Circle $50,000-$99,999

Presidents' Circle members demonstrate exceptional generosity, faith in our vision, and a strong commitment to the mission and value of our school.

Rev. Frascadore Society $25,000-$49,999

As the school's first president, Rev. Henry C. Frascadore initiated the Annual Fund and pioneered the development of the Northwest Catholic Endowment Fund. As a result, the school grew tremendously, and today's students continue to enjoy the fruits of these programs.

Rev. Colton Society $10,000-$24,999

During his time at Northwest Catholic, Rev. Bradford Colton, the first principal, was an exemplary leader, educator, and mentor to many students. He lived the mission of our school with humbling grace and dedicated his life to educating others.

1961 Society $5,000-$9,999

NWC opened its doors in 1961. Gifts from the members of this society make a notable impact on the growth and progression of our school and inspire others to invest in its future.

Green & White Club $2,500-$4,999

Every fan of Northwest Catholic knows that green and white are as popular and as ubiquitous today as they were in 1961, when they made their debut as our school colors.

Dominican Order Society $1,000-$2,499

In 1961, eight Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs devoted their time and energy to educating the young minds of Northwest Catholic students. Their guidance provided the foundation for the growth and development of the student body.
