The Green & Gold Fund was created to help solicit donations from alumni, parents and others in the community to generally provide funding for longer term projects designed to enhance the educational experience at the school. The Fund was incorporated in the State of New York in 2018 and is a non-profit organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service that is a separately managed entity with its own board of directors and its own reporting requirements.

As is the case with most Catholic high schools, the actual costs associated with operating the school are greater than what is collected in tuition and fees. SHHS has its own Development office and its efforts are primarily focused on closing the gap between the tuition and the annual operating costs. The focus of the Fund is to look beyond the normal operating costs and to provide the resources to enhance the programs and activities that help the school remain competitive, long term, in the private school marketplace.
