GOUVERNEUR -- A $25,000 gift from a donor to St. James School will help support its continued operation in Gouverneur.
The funding was provided through the St. James School Foundation Fund of the Northern New York Community Foundation by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.
St. James School opened its doors to Gouverneur-area students of all faiths in September 1960 under the direction of Father Robert McCarthy and has operated continuously for 60 years. Today, the school educates children from preschool through sixth grade.
In 2019, St. James School established a partnership with the Northern New York Community Foundation and created the St. James School Foundation Fund to help support all aspects of its educational operation both now and in the future, with additional long-term stewardship. Donors continue to help build this enduring resource.
Through school educational foundations stewarded at the community foundation, alumni, parents, teachers, retirees and others for whom their school holds special meaning can leave a legacy to their school. Donors may also designate a specific use for their gift. An educational foundation, like the St. James School Foundation Fund, enables donors to support the school in either a broader or more specific way. The Community Foundation presently partners with 12 other school districts across Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
“It is an honor for us to work with donors to direct their giving in ways that have deep meaning for them,” said Rande Richardson, Community Foundation executive director. “This incredibly generous gift represents a great desire to see St. James School continue to be a strong and sustainable educational community resource.”
