The Monsignor Joseph C. Ansaldi Fund is St. Joseph by-the-Sea’s program of unrestricted annual giving. It is the vehicle by which alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents and friends provide financial support to help keep Sea strong. Contributions help build our Development Fund, earnings from which defray tuition costs for all Sea students and represent real savings for our students and their families.  Each year we conduct our annual appeal, and the proceeds raised directly offset the cost of tuition for Sea students.  Last year, through the generosity of our Alumni, we were able to provide EVERY student with a $100 scholarship.  We encourage you to give back to your alma mater today.

Ansaldi Fund.  There are several options available for you to choose from, and one for every budget.  Remember, gifts may vary in size but none vary in importance.  Become a member of the Alumni All-Stars today by clicking here.

Private support has allowed St. Joseph by-the-Sea to build upon its commitment as an educational institution, providing academic and scholarship programs to a diverse student body. The generosity of those who give to the high school makes a crucial difference in Sea’s ability to fulfill its mission.  

The Monsignor Joseph C. Ansaldi Fund- is St. Joseph by the Sea’s endowment fund. It is the vehicle by which alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents and friends provide financial support to help keep Sea strong. Donations to the fund enter into an account, as the fund grows, the principal will remain intact and the interest will be used to reduce the tuition of all students across the board. This fund will defray tuition costs for all Sea students and represent real savings for our young men & women and their families.

Capital Donations- Capital gifts for building renovations or construction provide students and faculty with facilities to support their educational goals. First-rate facilities are essential to education in an ever-changing world, and allow the College to provide students access to the best. Appeals such as these have assisted in financing the 1.7 million dollar athletic complex "Viking Park" 

Naming Opportunities- St. Joseph by-the-Sea encourages donors to consider recognition through a commemorative gift. Naming opportunities for new construction or for existing facilities are available for those wishing to give recognition or a memorial as a lasting tribute to accomplishments. For more information, please contact Anthony Rapacciuolo at (718) 984-6500 for more information.

Corporate Matching Gifts- Many corporations and organizations match employee contributions, doubling or even tripling the gift. The school derives significant benefits from this source of revenue, and they allow your gift to go further and affect more aspects of the School.

 Assets to Give- There are so many ways of giving -- a monetary gift is the simplest and most immediate way to give to St. Joseph by-the-Sea and immediately impacts the Sea community. Monetary gifts may be pledged over the course of one or more years. Monthly or quarterly pledge payments enable some donors to make a larger gift to St. Joseph by-the-Sea at a comfortable level for them. Giving appreciated assets such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds that you have owned longer than one year can allow you to bypass capital gains tax that would be due on a sale of the assets. This can reduce the after-tax cost of your gift by as much as one-third. Of course, your tax rate determines how much you save -- the higher your tax rate, the more you save from each dollar donated. In some cases, property can be given outright to support St. Joseph by-the-Sea and the donor receives a charitable income tax deduction for the fair market value of the property. Gifts of real estate can also be used to fund a life income gift.
Life income arrangements vary, but most options offer the following financial benefits:

• An income for life to the donor and second beneficiary
• A charitable income tax deduction
• A higher rate of return than many current investments
• A reduction or avoidance of capital gains taxes; and
• Savings on estate and gift taxes; and professional investment management.

Bequests- For many donors, a gift made through a will is the best way to make a substantial contribution to the school. Donors can leave specific dollar amounts or a percentage of their estate. Through a bequest, a donor can make a gift without deleting current assets, and eliminate or reduce federal estate taxes. For more information, please call Anthony Rapacciuolo at 718-984-6500
