The Ryan Foundation Continues Support of Lourdes Central Catholic with $390K Donation

The Ryan Foundation is pleased to continue its longstanding partnership with Lourdes Central Catholic School in Nebraska, through a $390,000 donation in September 2026. This gift reflects the Foundation's ongoing commitment to supporting Catholic education and helping provide students with opportunities to grow academically, spiritually, and personally.

For generations, Lourdes Central Catholic has served as a cornerstone of faith-based education, fostering an environment where students are encouraged to pursue academic excellence, strengthen their faith, and develop a lifelong commitment to serving others. Through its dedication to educating the whole person, Lourdes continues to prepare young people to become compassionate leaders within their families, churches, and communities.

The school's commitment to excellence is reflected in the accomplishments of its students. The Class of 2026 celebrated a 100% graduation rate, with graduates collectively earning more than $2.25 million in scholarship opportunities. Beyond academics, students continue to demonstrate leadership through service, athletics, and extracurricular activities, reflecting the values instilled throughout their education.

The Ryan Foundation's donation will help strengthen Lourdes Central Catholic's mission and support the continued efforts to provide a high-quality Catholic education for current and future generations. By investing in institutions that prioritize faith, character, and academic achievement, the Foundation seeks to help ensure that students have the resources and opportunities needed to reach their full potential.
