The Catholic Peoples Foundation has supported the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Gallup for many years. Whether it is through direct gifts, scholarship endowments, the school loan program, or other initiatives, we aim to help our schools continue to deliver a rigorous, affordable, and Christ-centered education for generations to come.
Direct Gifts: Every year the proceeds of the Bishop’s Golf Classic go to directly support the operations of the Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Gallup. Additional gifts are made as funding allows, both for particular needs or general operating expenses.
Scholarship Endowments: CPF currently manages two scholarship endowments for St. Francis Preschool and Sacred Heart Elementary in Gallup, respectively. It is our hope to add additional scholarship funds in the coming years to serve more schools and students.
School Loan Program: CPF administers a revolving loan program to assist the schools in our diocese with any unforeseen needs. Schools contribute annually and are eligible to take out loans when qualifying expenses are incurred.
Programs in Development: CPF is always open to serving the community in creative ways and is currently developing the Missionary Teacher Internship for potential launch in the ’25-’26 school year. Check back here for updates as they occur.
Planned Gifts: Did you know you can include a donation to CPF in your will or living trust? We’ve partnered with FreeWill, a secure online estate planning resource that allows you to make a will in as little as 20 minutes and empower the next generation of students to experience a Christ-centered education. Make your gift today to build a lasting legacy of faith and join a community of peers in the Pillars Legacy Society.
