Every gift we receive is valued and appreciated.  If you have any questions, please contact the Development Director.   Please make checks payable to: St. John Neumann School 791 Tom Smith Road Lilburn, GA 30047     THE FOLLOWING GIVING OPPORTUNITIES EXIST: Annual Fund:  The Annual Fund is a tax-deductible opportunity to help defray the school’s general operating budget, as well as enhance programs and services for our students and maintain the physical plant.  The funds raised each year help narrow the gap between tuition and the cost to educate each child, keeping tuition increases to a minimal level.  Please help us to continue to build our programs and meet our students’ needs.    Giving Tree:  Donations to the Giving Tree are restricted to tuition assistance. Individuals donating $150.00 or more to the Giving Tree fund may have an engraved bronze leaf added to the tree which is located in the school foyer.   ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS Our endowed scholarships provide tuition assistance for a St. John Neumann student. These scholarships are awarded yearly.
