Why Give?

The mission of the Office of Advancement is to develop meaningful relationships with members of our primary stakeholder groups through identification, engagement, cultivation, solicitation, recognition and stewardship for the purpose of supporting and advancing the overall mission and goals of Frassati Catholic High School.  Primary stakeholder groups include current and prospective benefactors, volunteers, regional parishioners, current parents and grandparents, prospective parents and grandparents, current and future alumni, foundations, and philanthropic organizations and corporations.  
 

"Fundraising is proclaiming what we believe in such a way that we offer other people an opportunity to participate with us in our vision and mission. When we seek to raise funds we are not saying, 'Please, could you help us out because lately it's been hard.' Rather, we are declaring, 'We have a vision that is amazing and exciting. We are inviting you to invest yourself through the resources that God has given you - your energy, your prayers, and your money - in this work to which God has called us.'"

- Henri J. M. Nouwen, The Spirituality of Fundraising

Accredited Status

In May 2016, Frassati Catholic High School received accredited status from the Texas Catholic Conference Education Department. This allows donors who work for matching gift companies that require proof of accreditation to have their gifts to the Frassati Catholic Giving Program or the Capital Campaign matched by the company. Contact your H.R. Department to learn about your companies matching gift policy and, if applicable to Frassati Catholic, ask to have your gift(s) matched, today.  This simple and meaningful act is of great help to Frassati Catholic as we strive to reach our fundraising goals.  For more information, contact Director of Advancement, Dr. Carla E. Alsandor at c.alsandor@frassaticatholic.org or 832.616.3221.
