The Founders' Circle was created in 2008 to honor individuals who have generously supported St. John's Prep/Mater Christi throughout the years. It is the Prep's most prestigious donor recognition organization. Benefactors whose lifetime giving to the school surpasses $25,000 attain membership in one of the lifetime giving societies and are honored with special invitations to school events and a donor recognition dinner during the year. Founders' Circle members receive special recognition in the "Founders' Hall" as an expression of our gratitude for their outstanding support.
Through the Lifetime Giving Societies, the school honors the leadership and extraordinary support of alumni and friends. Private donors play a vital role in shaping St. John's Prep's future. As a member of the Founders' Circle, individuals provide a foundation of financial support for the current student body of St. John's Prep. These charitable gifts from alumni and friends collectively support scholarships, financial assistance, necessary capital improvements and the critical support for our students, faculty members and programs that develop our Leaders of Tomorrow.
