Dear Valued Alumni & Friends,
The Shaw High Alumni Association is committed to preserving the rich legacy, excellence, and enduring spirit of Shaw High School. For generations, Shaw has stood out as a true leader—shaping innovators, community trailblazers, and exceptional leaders. To ensure our school continues to lead the pack for generations to come, we invite you to become a sustaining partner in our future.
What is an Endowment?
An endowment is a permanent financial gift that keeps giving back. Instead of spending your contribution all at once, the principal amount is invested. The annual returns generated from that investment provide a stable, perpetual stream of funding for Shaw High. This means a single contribution today creates a lasting legacy that supports our community forever.
To ensure maximum impact, transparency, and professional management, we have officially partnered with The Cleveland Foundation—one of the oldest and most respected community foundations in the nation. This partnership guarantees that your contribution is expertly managed and allocated where it matters most.
Your contribution to the Endowment Fund will directly support:
A gift of any size makes a meaningful difference. By contributing to the endowment today, you directly empower our future alumni to carry the Shaw tradition forward and keep us leading the pack.
Thank you for considering a donation to the Shaw High Alumni Association Endowment Fund. We would be honored to have you join us in securing our legacy.
Warm regards,
Bernadette Pace
President, Shaw High Alumni Association
