The Mother Oak Annual Campaign is the cornerstone of all giving efforts because it serves our two greatest assets: our students and our teachers. Dollars raised help us provide students with classroom enhancements, teacher development, address emerging priorities of the school, build our endowment and bolster financial assistance. Your tax deductible, unrestricted gift ensures that St. Luke’s students benefit from an exceptional classroom experience beyond that which tuition alone would cover.

By giving to the Mother Oak Annual Campaign, you are sending a powerful message that you believe in the mission of St. Luke’s Episcopal School to present a college preparatory community developing young men and women of honor, faith and responsibility with character and intellect to thrive in college and life. When you participate, you become a part of the school’s legacy of academic excellence and lifelong learning. Additionally, broad support from the entire school community helps to influence the giving decisions of foundations and businesses, further enhancing the learning experiences St. Luke’s can offer its students.

Other Ways to Give.

Planned Giving

Oak Leaves Society

In our current economy it can be difficult to give generously. But for many there is a way. A bequest may be a particularly attractive gift option if you are unable to make an outright gift but would like to contribute to the school in a meaningful way. Estate gifts may be a few hundred dollars, thousands or millions of dollars.

Specific bequests are most common. You may leave a specific amount of money, asset, or percentage of your estate to St. Luke’s Episcopal School. Residual bequests go to St. Luke’s Episcopal School only after all debts, expenses, taxes, and other bequests have been paid.

If you decide to include St. Luke’s in your will, IRA, life insurance, etc., you may use this official language:
I give, devise and bequeath to St. Luke’s Episcopal School, a non-profit organization duly existing under the laws of the state of Alabama and located at Mobile, Mobile County, Alabama, x% of estate or $xx to be used for...

If you have included or would like to include St. Luke’s Episcopal School in your estate plans, please let us know by calling 251-666-2991 ext 8140. We would love the opportunity to recognize your generosity or honor your desire to remain anonymous.

Gifts in Kind

Goods or Services

St. Luke’s is occasionally the recipient of donated items or services. Such items/services are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure they meet a viable School need.
