Friends of Hockey
Year after year, we work to make our hockey program bigger, faster, and stronger. This is the Shattuck-St. Mary’s way. Shattuck-St. Mary’s Friends of Hockey is committed to making an impact on the lives of our student-athletes by providing long-term support for our nationally-recognized Hockey Center of Excellence.
The purpose of this restricted fund is to provide alumni, parents, and friends of the SSM Hockey Center of Excellence the ability to support the SSM program through charitable donations. Gifts to this fund support SSM athletes, coaches, and hockey-related facilities, and are intended to provide long-term sustainability of the program as the School’s original Center of Excellence. As part of the School’s restricted gift policy, 10% of donations made to Friends of SSM Hockey will be directed to the SSM Annual Fund for the support of the School’s general operating budget. The remaining 90% of the funds will be allocated evenly to three priorities: today, tomorrow, and capital projects.
These resources will make a tremendous difference in keeping Shattuck-St. Mary’s the best place in the world for a young aspiring hockey player to go to school and play hockey.
30% of donations will be directed to the annual budget of the Hockey COE.
Following annual planning and budgeting processes with the CFO, the Director of Hockey will prioritize, budget, and spend funds annually to improve overall program performance through expanded playing and coaching opportunities. Any surplus funds above the Director of Hockey Operations’ annual budget will be allocated to the SSM Hockey COE endowment.
30% of donations will be deposited into an endowment fund that will provide long-term support to the program.
The purpose of this fund is to ensure we can continue to hire and retain the best coaches for Shattuck-St. Mary’s Hockey Program.
30% of donations will be allocated to support capital improvements to hockey-related buildings, plant, and accessories.
The Head of School, CFO, and Sports Complex Manager (with input from the Director of Hockey) will prioritize, budget, and spend funds on improvements to these facilities. Any surplus funds above the year’s capital budget will roll over to the following year, earmarked for as-needed facilities improvements.
