Adopt-A-Student Foundation

501(c)(3) founded in 1990 to support the students of Cathedral High School 

The Adopt-A-Student Foundation supports Cathedral High School’s mission of providing a rigorous, holistic education to Boston-area students, regardless of ability to pay.

The Adopt-A-Student Foundation is a Massachusetts charitable trust established to ensure that students of all economic, educational, and faith backgrounds have access to a quality, values-based college preparatory education. Since 1926, Cathedral High School has helped open the doors of educational opportunity to generations of Boston’s youth. The Adopt-A-Student Foundation 501(c)(3) entity, founded in 1990, ensures that no student is turned away from Cathedral due to lack of means. 

Tuition covers less than 10% of Cathedral High School’s costs. Cathedral relies on the Boston philanthropic community to provide financial assistance to 100% of Cathedral’s students. The Adopt-A-Student Foundation organizes fundraising events and initiatives to support scholarships for Cathedral High School students.  Most recently, the Adopt-A-Student Foundation orchestrated the historic $60 million Cathedral Now, Cathedral Forever Campaign to sustain Cathedral’s mission for the next century. 

Join us for the Adopt-A-Student Foundation’s two signature annual events which raise critical funds that open doors for traditionally underserved students.
