The O’Dea Fund is the cornerstone of O’Dea, ensuring that young men grow in their learning, in their leadership, and in their understanding of who they are.
Your support of the O’Dea Fund ensures they are guided by educators who care deeply, challenged by academics that prepare them for life, and, as graduates, inspired to give back to the world around them.
Every gift to the O’Dea Fund, whether large or small, plays a vital role in carrying this mission forward. Gifts are unrestricted and allow us to meet the greatest needs of our students today.
Academics & Counseling
Your gift supports academics and counseling at O’Dea, encouraging both intellectual curiosity and personal growth. By funding programs for our diverse learners through the counseling office, you help ensure the best academic experience and meaningful social and emotional learning. In addition, your support expands partnerships with local universities and businesses in engineering and medicine, preparing O’Dea students for the careers of tomorrow.
Faith & Service
Your gift supports faith and service at O’Dea, deepening students’ faith and their commitment to others. By anchoring Catholic values through Campus Ministry and Theology classes, we provide a strong moral and ethical foundation. Your generosity makes possible Encounter Retreats, Ministry Leadership, and service projects that foster deep connections while benefiting the surrounding community.
Student Life & Athletics
Your gift supports student life and athletics at O’Dea, building confidence, character, and connection. From the House System to the playing field and the studio, your generosity strengthens cross-grade mentorship programs, athletics, eSports, music, and more. Whether joining DECA, the choir, or football students form lifelong friendships and carry on the tradition of Brotherhood that is synonymous with O’Dea.
Technology & Facilities
Your gift strengthens O’Dea’s technology and facilities, creating a modern and adaptable learning environment. As a Microsoft Showcase School in the heart of a tech hub, we prepare students for the careers of the future. From upgrading servers and classroom monitors to introducing new programs and maintaining our historic 802 Terry Avenue building, your support directly impacts the daily lives of O’Dea students.
Financial Aid
Your gift to Financial Aid makes an O’Dea education possible for every deserving student. Supporting young men who have been accepted but need assistance to attend is central to our mission and ensures socio-economic diversity remains a cornerstone of O’Dea. This year alone, the need is over $2 million.
