Why is Cor Jesu participating in Giving Tuesday?

Now in its 9th year, Giving Tuesday promotes community philanthropy during the holiday season. CJ is tapping into the momentum of this global day of giving in order to help raise money for the Annual Fund, our primary source of financial aid. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent financial downturn has greatly increased requests for financial aid from our school families.

What is the Annual Fund?

We invite you to watch as Katie Thiemann '81, Director of Leadership Giving explains the Annual Fund and why it is such a vital component of Cor Jesu's ongoing mission to offer an academically challenging program committed to the total education of young women.

Cor Jesu Has Secured $110,000 in Matching Funds for Giving Tuesday!

Each donation made to CJ on Giving Tuesday (December 1, 2020) will be worth double the amount, thanks to donors who have agreed to match the donations we receive on Giving Tuesday, up to $110,000. Donors who work for companies that match their giving can triple the amount of their donation on that day! Click here to see if your company matches employee giving to triple the impact.
