St. Joseph School Annual Fund FAQ’s

 

 What is the St. Joseph School Annual Fund?

The St. Joseph School Annual Fund is a continuous program involving a community of dedicated supporters committed to the enrichment and growth of the students and teachers at St. Joseph. Annual gifts of any size will significantly impact the school community and the educational experience of every St. Joseph student and teacher.

 Should I support the Annual Fund?

Please support the St. Joseph School Annual Fund. Each year we will ask every member of the school community—parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni, faculty, staff and friends-- to participate and be as generous as their means allow. All gifts, no matter the size, are important and make a difference.

 I already paid for, or am paying for tuition. Why should I give?

The cost of tuition only covers 80% of a St. Joseph education. If you or your child has been the recipient of a St. Joseph education, then you have also received the generous support of the alumni, parents and friends of the St. Joseph community who have supported the school in previous generations. Help to give today’s students the opportunity that you or your child had at St. Joseph School.

What amount should I give?

Contributors should give according to their financial ability. No contribution is too small. The difference between the tuition and the actual cost in educating a child is $900. Our financial goal is $100,000. Our participation goal is 100%. The Annual Fund is dependent upon gifts from families at every financial level, whether large or small.
