We gratefully acknowledge all of our donors who make contributions to Convent & Stuart Hall. Your philanthropy supports many areas of the student experience, including enhancements to our academic programs and spaces, as well as helping us retain exceptional faculty. We are profoundly grateful to all the donors who contribute to and support Sacred Heart education in San Francisco.

Duchesne Society
Named for St. Philippine Rose Duchesne who brought Sacred Heart education to the United States, Duchesne Society members demonstrate their commitment to a Convent & Stuart Hall education by planning gifts that will benefit future generations. Such benevolence is not marked by levels of giving but by a generosity of spirit that ensures the school will continue to meet higher aspirations with every graduating class.
Event Recognition
The generosity of event sponsors and underwriters is the cornerstone of Parents Association events, which are held in support of Convent & Stuart Hall students. Countless other community members support these events by attending, volunteering, donating gifts in kind and bidding on auction items.
Alumni Giving
Membership in the Sacred Heart community lasts a lifetime, as does the support that alumni offer to Convent & Stuart Hall, and many are a significant part of the recognition groups mentioned above. Annually, the Alumni Bulletin recognizes donors who make a gift of any size to the school for at least five consecutive fiscal years.
