How to Help
How you can Help
Volunteer

Your help is vitally needed to help us create the tools that our Catholic schools and teachers need for our children. When you make a tax-deductible contribution to the Catholic Schools Textbook Project, you help educate not only the minds, but also the very hearts of Catholic children. There are many ways you can help..

Remember us in your prayers…
The first and most important help we can have is from above. Please keep the Catholic Schools Textbook Project in your prayers, and recommend us to your favorite saints!

Referring friends...
Aside from prayer, one of the most important ways to help is to spread the word about the project and its needs.  When parents, teachers, principals and pastors learn about this textbook project for Catholic schools, they get excited about it!  So please don't hesitate to spread the word!

Tax-deductible donations…
The Catholic Schools Textbook Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation.  Quite simply, it would not exist without the sacrificial and generous donations of many benefactors over the past few years who have stepped forward to help fund this work with their personal or corporate, tax-deductible donations.  

We must raise more than $2 million in the next two years to be fully operational and without debt in the writing, design, layout, multi-level editing, securing of copyrights for illustrations, maps and photos, and the final production process.  All of this does not include the cost of printing, which is separate and underwritten by our publisher. The costs involved in producing excellent textbooks is enormous, but worth every penny and every sacrifice!

Every tax-deductible dollar you send our way -- or get others to send our way -- is a huge help and greatly appreciated.  We see this as God's work, as fulfilling a desperate need within our Catholic schools to help form solid Catholic citizens who truly understand not only accurate history, but also their place in history and the influence of saints and the Faith throughout the ages.

Become a Monthly Partner…
Our monthly partners are integral to our success.  They get a tax write-off each year for their total donation amount for the year, and they help us in our ongoing fundraising efforts by being there constantly for us, month in and month out.  It's easy to become a monthly partner…simply click the Donate Now button and make pledge arrangements or you may call Mr. Van Hecke and arrange for an amount of your choosing to be deducted regularly from your credit or debit card.  You don't have to think of it again. You receive a welcome tax-deduction at the end of the year, and you help our future Catholic citizens in a way that will impact generations in the future for years to come!
