Purpose:

The Student Philanthropy Club will provide leadership in stewardship opportunities for the school through a variety of endeavors.
Provide an additional opportunity for NFA students to help others and increase their understanding that they can also be philanthropic. (They have time, treasures, and talents to share, give back, and pay forward.)
Encourage students' understanding that philanthropy is more than just a charitable donation; it is reflecting a profound love of our neighbor, living and working so all may be one, along with many other tenets of the Sisters of Saint Joseph.
Club members will learn more about the role of the Mission Advancement Office (MAO) in the NFA community and help plan activities that correspond with the MAO and NFA mission.

Activities: (other ideas may develop during the year)

Students will support our Giving Tuesday efforts on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.
Students will help plan and organize a fundraiser for NFA Legacy Week held the last week of January.
Students will assist in development mailings (stuffing, labeling, and sealing).
Students may support our Signature Fundraising Event prep activities.
Students will create and write personal thank you notes to donors, volunteers, and board members.
Students will assist with event set-up as needed.
