Giving
At Dowling Catholic High School, donors have a significant impact, providing opportunities for students to become Leaders for Life, Centered on Christ. Gifts to Dowling Catholic provide support to programs and resources that truly benefit all students.
The impact of donors can be seen immediately upon entering campus with the addition of the Coppola Family St. Joseph Chapel and a building which has been completely transformed. In the classroom students have access to the latest technology and a challenging curriculum which prepares them for educational and career opportunities that will allow them to thrive in a global community.
Generous contributions provide opportunities for students to participate in a wide variety of activities that develop their interests and teach them the value of leadership and citizenship. This support also makes it possible for students to serve others, a hallmark of the Dowling Catholic experience. Donors help make a Dowling Catholic education possible for all who seek it.
On behalf of all of the students at Dowling Catholic who will benefit from your generosity, thank you for your consideration. If you would like to give to any of the areas listed please contact the Dowling Catholic Advancement Office at 515.225.3000.

We Are Maroons Annual Appeal
This is our most important annual fundraiser. Every aspect of Dowling Catholic - including a portion of financial assistance, student activities, academic programming, and the arts - is supported by the Annual Appeal. Financial support from the Annual Appeal and other revenues pay 20 percent of the total per pupil cost. That equates to a "gap" between the full cost of education and what tuition and parish support cover.
Matching Gifts
A matching gift is provided via a participating company based on the contribution to Dowling Catholic High School by the company's employees and spouses. The company matches the gift only after the donor has sent his or her gift to Dowling Catholic along with the company's matching gift form. These forms can be obtained from the Human Resources office of most companies. Check with your Human Resources office to find out what gifts they match or use the new search feature on the Matching Gifts page.
