Put your name
behind the next founder.

Every dollar given to DBI goes through Cathedral Catholic’s official giving office and lands directly in the program — the sessions, the Case Competition, and the Summit stage, where more than $20,000 in prizes put real hardware in the hands of student founders last year.

Here’s how to donate

  1. 1

    Open Cathedral Catholic’s giving page

    The button below takes you to the school’s official Make a Gift page.

  2. 2

    Select “Academics”

    Choose Academics as the area your gift supports.

  3. 3

    Enter your donation amount

    Any amount — every gift funds real sessions and real prizes.

  4. 4

    Under “I want to support,” choose Dons Business Institute

    Scroll the list — it’s alphabetical, so we’re under D.

Open the giving page  →

Gifts are processed by Cathedral Catholic High School’s advancement office and directed to the Dons Business Institute. Questions about giving, hosting a case challenge, or sponsoring the Summit — talk to the team.
