The Catholic Education Collaborative offers our Partners special savings through our Vendor Savings Program.

The Collaborative, in consultation with parish business managers, discerns the need and then negotiates special pricing contracts on behalf of the participating Partners, bringing cost savings through aggregated purchasing power.

Our Vendor Savings participating companies are:*

1. Waste Management (trash and recycling)
2. IGS Energy (natural gas)
3. Duke Energy Retail Sales (electricity)
4. The Paperhouse of Dayton (white copy paper)
5. Staples (primary for general office supplies and ink/toner)
6. Salem Office Products (alternate for general office supplies)
7. Supplies Now (alternate for ink/toner)
8. John R. Green (instructional supplies)

The Catholic Education Collaborative is a fantastic resource for St. Charles parish and school. As the business manager I directly see the many financial and logistical benefits of the Collaborative. The Collaborative enables all of its Partners to have group purchasing and negotiating power.

This has saved us not only thousands of dollars, but also much of my time as an administrator, allowing me to focus on other critical issues at the parish. Keep up the good work Catholic Education Collaborative!
