Donate

Donations from our community play a vital role in shaping an exceptional learning environment for our students. Sacré Cœur has thrived through the kindness and vision of alumnae, families and friends who share our timeless principles of respect, faith, spirit and community. Their generosity has helped build a school where students are inspired to grow, succeed, and contribute meaningfully to the world.

When supporting Sacré Cœur, you can choose from a range of giving initiatives that directly impact our students. From scholarships and bursaries that open doors to transformative opportunities, to enhancing facilities and programs, every contribution strengthens our community.

Every gift, no matter the size, is deeply valued and has the power to create lasting opportunities, enriching the education of young women to come.

Thank you for your kindness, leadership and generosity.
