The Campaign for Saint James School
The Make A Difference Campaign has raised more than $40 million toward an updated goal of $50 million. The spirit of philanthropy in our community is inspiring and ensures a bright future for generations of Saints to come.
The Make A Difference Campaign began in 2014 and went public in 2018, supported by school leaders, alumni, past parents, current parents, and friends who joined together to carry out our of vision of improving the art and athletic facilities, adding housing for faculty and students, strengthening annual giving, and growing our endowment.
The campaign has been extended by two years to December 2023, and we are now focused on securing the support we need to complete our campaign, putting Saint James in a much better position to carry out its mission of creating leaders for good in the world.
"Beyond the Pohanka building’s beautiful design, we now have dedicated practice, instructional, and performance spaces which are acoustically designed. It is a facility to grow into and the students’ excitement and appreciation, whether entering the choir room for the first time or taking the stage for their Senior Showcase, is truly rewarding. Thank you to all the students who demonstrated the need for such a building and to all the donors who responded so generously."
Linda Stowe, Director of Fine Arts

Campaign Progress
Making a Difference,
Together
Since the launch of the Make A Difference Campaign in 2014, we have enjoyed tremendous success, surpassing our original $35 million goal due to the generosity of more than 2,500 donors. This is an incredible achievement for a school our size and we thank you for your support! Building on our success, the Board has extended the length of the Make a Difference Campaign by two years to December of 2023 and has increased the overall goal to $50 million.
"Reflecting the enormous commitment of the Saint James family, this campaign has far exceeded expectations, raising more than $40 million to support Saint James students and faculty through many types of gifts."
Ann & John Davis, Campaign Co-Chairs
