Educational Trust

The St. Anthony Catholic Church Educational Trust was established by a passionate parishioner in 1995 for the long-term benefit of St. Anthony Schools.

The trust is a separate & distinct entity from the Parish, Diocese, and other trusts and foundations operated by St. Anthony Parish and Schools.

The trust is operated under its own federal tax identification number and is tax exempt under IRS Section 501(c)(3). Gifts to the Trust are tax deductible.
