With your help, we are able to achieve great things.

McGivney’s growth over the past 28 years is evidenced by our many achievements:

Since 1992, our membership has increased from 50 youth to more than 400 annually. This is due largely in part to donations, volunteers, and new programs.

Members are required to submit their report cards, so staff can track their academic progress. Our records indicate that many members experience an increase in grades while attending McGivney, due to both the educational support they receive and McGivney’s dedication to helping every child see the importance of education. Some members have gone from receiving “F’s” to “B’s” in as little as three marking periods.

Our Impact

During the 2018-2019 school year, 51% of members increased their grades by at least one letter from first to third quarter. At the end of the 2018-2019 school year, 27 members made the honor roll.
