Annual Fund Campaign
What is the Annual Fund Campaign?
Invest in our tradition of faith and learning through the Saint Clare School Annual Fund. The Annual Fund is a successful program that financially supports Saint Clare School. This program is different from other fundraisers in the following ways:
no overhead so all of your gift is spent at school
provide a reliable, regular source of income to the school
used to improve school facilities and academic programs
fully tax deductible, unlike normal tuition and fee payments
another source of funding that can help reduce tuition
What is our goal?
Our goal is that 100% of our families, alumni and friends of Saint Clare respond to the Annual Fund. The Saint Clare Annual Fund is unique in that there is no monetary goal. We are not trying to reach a particular dollar amount because we do not believe a numeric goal is the most effective.
Why is the Annual Fund necessary?
Saint Clare School creates a budget each year that is balanced and complete. The school is solvent and its finances are sound. But we need to continue to invest in our academic programs and facilities. We need to ensure that our academic programs keep pace with the demands of our educational mission. We need to ensure that our facilities will serve us into our next century. To fund these needs, we could increase tuition and fees, but that alone is neither prudent nor desirable. Therefore, we ask our larger community to support the Annual Fund as much as possible so that we can better plan our future.
Who is being asked to participate?
We invite our entire community to support the Annual Fund. Current families, alumni and friends have always been very helpful when we asked for assistance and we believe that they value their association with Saint Clare School.
