The St. Madeleine Sophie Barat Society has been established to encourage and recognize annual gifts of $2,500 or more to one of Woodlands Academy's charitable giving programs. Members uphold the mission of Woodlands and provide the School with a sound base of ongoing, annual financial support.
Members of the Barat Society share a special relationship with Woodlands Academy. Through their philanthropic leadership, they play an important role in the life of the School. They are members of a team that is taking Woodlands Academy to new heights. This team includes parents of past and current students, alumnae and friends who provide essential support for the School's needs.
The members of the Barat Society are important players on this team, providing an important source of annual income that helps furnish today's students with the special educational programming that will teach them values for life.
Donors who have made cumulative gifts to Woodlands Academy totaling at least $100,000. Their long-term commitment at the highest level guarantees that Sacred Heart education will thrive at Woodlands Academy well into the future.
The Mater Admirabilis Legacy was founded to honor individuals who have expressed their commitment to the continuation of Sacred Heart values, traditions, and education by making a planned gift to Woodlands Academy. Planned Gifts are those, which will be made in the future through such vehicles as wills or trusts.
Planned Gifts allow you to ensure that the valued education you received, or provided for your daughters, will be there for future generations - your granddaughters and their children. Planned Giving may enable you to make a more significant gift to Woodlands than might otherwise be possible, while allowing you to meet personal and family financial goals. Through careful planning you can identify the method to make a contribution which best fits your situation, which may enable you to realize immediate tax savings while maximizing the impact of your gift on Woodlands Academy.
