Support the DSPT
The Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology depends on financial contributions from individuals and foundations to support its mission of
forming men and women who can preach the Gospel, compellingly and without compromise.
placing the tradition of the Catholic Church in fruitful dialogue with contemporary culture
articulating the unique contribution of the laity in the apostolic mission of the Church
providing an environment for lay, religious and clerical collaboration
and forming leaders in the Church and in society
In this mission, we invite your collaboration through your prayers, your
ideas, your advocacy, and also your financial support. Areas of financial gift
opportunities include:
Annual Fund
Your contribution to the DSPT Annual Fund will have an immediate and real
impact on our students, faculty, and community. The annual fund is used
to fund programs, general operations, pay salaries, and produce educational
and recruiting materials.
Financial Aid
Your contribution to Financial Aid will help our students offset the financial cost of tuition, books, and housing as they study to become our future leaders, missionaries and priests. Increasing our financial aid will not only help our current students, but also help us attract and enable more students to study the philosophical and theological traditions of the Church.
Capital Fund
Your contribution to the Capital Fund will help us to purchase, renovate and maintain the buildings and grounds of our new permanent location. After 40 years of renting classroom and office space at the GTU, we have purchased
a property that we are in the process of planning its renovation. Please join in helping us the create an advanced place of learning and formation. See more about the new location on the DSPT Campus page.
