Whether you have attended a Catholic school or have put a child/children through Catholic school you know the benefits of a Catholic education. You are also aware that it takes people like you and I to make this education affordable to all Catholic children. We are extremely grateful to those of you who have supported our mission throughout the years and welcome those who are interested in investing in a current and future student.
|
| Annual Giving Campaign Fund - revenue from tuition does not cover the cost of educating a St. Mary's student in a given year, so the Annual Giving Campaign Fund is a key component in balancing the annual operating budget. Donations are solicited throughout the year to a 2,500 member mailing list which includes parishioners, alumni, school parents, and grandparents. Donations can be made to the Endowment Fund, Scholarship Fund, or Special Projects Fund. |
Endowment Fund - The value of the Endowment Fund as of February 2008 is $421,676.00.
|
| Scholarship Fund - This fund ensures that all Catholic children will receive an education at St. Mary's. |
| Special Projects Fund - Tell us where you'd like your donation to be directed. There are so many ways to direct your funds, whether it is the school library, science department, math department, art program, or music program. We'll accommodate any request! |
