Sponsor a Student
One gift. Twice the opportunity.
Sponsor a Student is more than a gift. It’s an invitation to be part of a student’s Nativity journey.
Every Nativity Worcester student receives a tuition-free, faith-based education, with support that starts in middle school and continues through high school, college, and beyond. As a sponsor, you choose the stage, or stages, that mean the most to you. Then you get to watch students grow.
Right now, every Sponsor a Student gift is matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 per donor.
$250,000 matching challenge
Thanks to an anonymous donor, Sponsor a Student gifts are matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 per donor in total, including multi-year pledges, while matching funds remain.
Choose the stage that speaks to you
Pick one, or combine several. Every gift supports a student at a specific point in the Nativity journey and strengthens the whole Nativity community.

Follow the journey
We want sponsors to see what their generosity makes possible. You pick a Nativity class or cohort to follow, and we keep you close to their growth with:
- Student and graduate stories and reflections
- Photos and updates through the year
- Academic, service, and milestone highlights
- Invitations to select Nativity events and celebrations
Multi-year sponsors can follow a class from one grade to the next, through eighth-grade graduation, and into what comes after.
Follow their journey. Celebrate their milestones. See your impact.
