May 2009: A Culture of Philanthropy

How to Cultivate a Culture of Philanthropy Throughout Your Community

A culture of philanthropy emerges when people share a common belief and come together to support it. At DSPT our supporters give time, resources, ideas, money, prayers and much more. They each have special gifts. What they offer varies on many levels, but what they have in common is their solid belief in the mission of our school – to prepare women and men for academic and apostolic vocations.

Financial donations from our supporters are vital to the continuing success of our School. But there are other ways for you and your community to get involved. Special events such as the Alemany Award Dinner and Sunday in Spain auction are perfect opportunities to introduce the School to people you know who might enjoy fellowship with an intellectually diverse community. Visit www.dspt.edu for more information about our special lectures and events. If you are more interested in hosting an event to introduce your friends and colleagues to the work being done at DSPT, we would be happy to provide you with information and support in promoting the school. Contact advancement@dspt.edu for more information on how to get involved in any of these ways.

In order to grow our school and increase the impact we have on the world around us, we need your help. You can help us expand this culture of philanthropy by reaching out to people you know who share our interest in applying the wisdom of theology and philosophy to the concerns of society today. Join us and put your gifts to work today.
