About

On Tommie Give Day, the entire St. Thomas community will RALLY 'ROUND to support scholarship funding that ensures access to a mission-centered, whole-person education for current and future Tommies. Tommie Give Day is a great time to show your support for our students and the St. Thomas Community! Thanks to our Board of Trustees, our Parent and Family Philanthropic Council and other generous donors, gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar to double the impact. Plus, your contribution will help unlock challenges throughout the day, resulting in even more scholarship support for our students! #TommieGiveDay


When you make a gift of $100 or more through the Tommie Give Day giving page Oct. 27-Nov. 10, you qualify to receive a Tommie Rally Kit! Choose to keep the kit or donate a knit hat to Catholic Charities Twin Cities. Limit one kit or donated knit hat per household.


We are so grateful for the generosity of our community! Increase your impact through matches and challenges!

🎉 Board of Trustees Donor Challenge: When we reach 2,026 donors, we will unlock a $100,000 gift.
