Scholarship & Benefit FundThe Saint Mary's Scholarship and Benefit Fund is a separate 501 c(3) non-profit organization established in 1987 by an esteemed group of business professionals that wanted to provide a mechanism for effective fundraising for Saint Mary's Catholic High School. Over the years, the Scholarship and Benefit Fund has raised millions of dollars to support the school. The Scholarship and Benefit Fund maintains an endowment that includes named funds that will exist in perpetuity. Currently, the endowment is valued at over 1 million dollars. Interest earned helps provide scholarships to deserving students. Some named funds provide named scholarships, while other funds are designated for a specific purpose or organizational need.The Scholarship and Benefit Fund meets quarterly and sponsors annual fundraising events such as the Saint Mary's Open and Hall of Fame Dinner and Auction. You can establish a named fund after yourself or in honor or memory of someone important to you. Our staff can work with you to create a fund that will meet your needs and help Saint Mary's. Financial aid scholarships can be created in honor of a loved one that will provide a legacy that will last in perpetuity. As little as $20,000 can start a fund with the Saint Mary's Scholarship and Benefit Fund endowment.If you would like more information about the Scholarship and Benefit Fund, or if you would like to be considered for Board Membership, please contact Angie Bayless, Executive Director (602) 251-2506 or abayless@smknights.org.Current Board Roster:Board of DirectorsPresidentChris Fahrendorf II, Snell & WilmerVice PresidentW.
