Donor sues St. Louis Priory for her $1.5 million donation back
A donor is suing St. Louis Priory School to return her $1.5 million donation, saying the school did not use it the way she specified.
Anna Polizzi-Keller, who is the trustee of the Ruth D. and Wylie Todd Charitable Foundation Trust and who says she has donated more than $7.5 million to Priory, said in a lawsuit filed Nov. 21 that she gave a $1.5 million endowment to the Catholic, all-boys high school in 2009 with specific strings attached.
She told the school to use $1 million to create a scholarship fund, $250,000 to create a Father Gregory Mohrman Chair of Music and $250,000 to create a Father Gregory Mohrman Chair of English, both named after the school’s current headmaster.
Instead, Polizzi-Keller alleged, the school did nothing with the gift for six years while the funds accrued investment value.
