Why should you consider St. Bonaventure Academy as your DAF charity?

At SBA, our mission is to serve Cleveland’s most economically challenged areas, particularly the St. Clair/Superior/Glenville neighborhoods. Our approach focuses on providing holistic education, including farming, horticulture, culinary arts, and mental health programs. Your support will help break the cycle of socioeconomic hardship and empower the next generation of leaders.

SBA offers a unique blend of education and community-focused programs that go beyond the classroom. We work closely with local organizations, including the Cleveland Food Bank, Cleveland Metroparks, and St. Bonaventure University, to provide opportunities that make a real difference. Your contributions can help expand these initiatives, allowing us to create more impactful programs for our students and families.

St. Bonaventure Academy is in the foundational phase but has already secured funding from individuals, foundations, and partnerships! Our dedication to providing high-quality education, mental health support, and sustainable practices sets us apart from other educational institutions. By choosing SBA as your DAF charity, you're helping ensure the long-term success of a school committed to uplifting an entire community.

SBA is supported by a dedicated board of directors and volunteers who give their time, expertise, and resources to make our mission possible. We pride ourselves on having a board where 100% of members volunteer their time and contribute financially to the academy. This level of commitment ensures that every dollar donated goes directly to fulfilling our mission.

Your donation to SBA can create a lasting legacy that helps us provide a high-quality, community-centered education for generations to come. With a focus on family involvement, we empower students and families to succeed both academically and in life. Whether through your DAF or other means, your gift will continue to impact the Cleveland community for years to come.

SBA values transparency and accountability. We make sure that every contribution, whether large or small, is used efficiently and effectively to support our mission. With a dedicated team and robust processes in place, you can be confident that your DAF donation is making a real difference.
