Supporting the John Carroll School
The John Carroll School provides an education that prepares students to become leaders who inspire change. Gifts to the School directly benefit our students and faculty while enhancing our programs.

What your support means to John Carroll
Donations and philanthropic support are crucial for The John Carroll School to provide a transformative education to its students. The School relies on the generosity of alumni, parents and community members to fund academic programs, extracurricular activities and facility improvements. This enables John Carroll to offer advanced courses, research projects and service-learning programs that enhance students' growth and development.
Donations and philanthropic support allow John Carroll to promote its mission and strengthen its ties with the community. By partnering with local businesses, organizations and individuals, the School can expand its outreach efforts and offer community service and volunteer opportunities to students. This inspires students to become active citizens who are committed to serving others and making a positive impact on the world.
Philanthropic support also helps John Carroll provide financial assistance to students from all backgrounds. Scholarships and grants enable deserving students to benefit from the School's exceptional educational and spiritual programs. We're committed to accessibility and strive to make a John Carroll education available to all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
It is a true privilege to contribute to John Carroll. As a proud Patriot alumna and freshman parent, my donation is a small token of gratitude to thank John Carroll for all the wonderful gifts and positive, impactful experiences that have been.

The Fund for John Carroll
The Fund for John Carroll is the School's annual giving program, top fundraising priority and an essential, strategic resource. The Fund directly supports the School’s greatest assets — our students and teachers. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a John Carroll education. Like the majority of independent schools, we rely on the generosity of our community to help close the gap between income and operating costs.
Designating your gift to the Fund for John Carroll helps provide a one-of-a-kind experience for each of our 730 Patriots, and for generations to come.
The Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation’s Matching Gift Program
The Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation has generously presented The John Carroll School with an exciting gift-matching program to support scholarships for deserving families with a joint household income between $60,000 and $130,000 annually.
This Rollins-Luetkemeyer Foundation’s matching gift program presents an exceptional opportunity for The John Carroll School to make its transformative education accessible to a wider range of families in Harford County and beyond. By offering financial assistance to middle-class households, we can eliminate barriers that might otherwise prevent talented and motivated students from receiving the quality education they deserve.
Over the next four years, the Foundation will gift the School $1 for every $2 contributed by the Patriot community, up to a total of $250,000. This initiative aligns with The John Carroll School’s mission and values, and we are confident that our community will rise to the challenge of supporting our students and unlocking this exciting match.
When making your gift, be sure to select or note “Rollins-Luetkemeyer Scholarship” to support this matching opportunity and increase the impact of your donation.
