Your Vision Sustains Our Excellence<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Cathedral Education Foundation is an independent, 501(c)(3) charitable trust that exists to support Cathedral through endowed funds. It was formed in 1978 by members of the community who saw the value that Cathedral brought to our community and wanted to ensure that Cathedral remained a strong, vibrant, and growing educational institution for youth well into the future. The endowed funds retain their principal, with distributions from earnings supporting Cathedral families, teachers, and programming. Your gifts to The Cathedral Education Foundation will have a lasting impact on the school and community for generations to come.<\/p><\/div>\"Image\"<\/span>
