The Annual Giving Fund

The Annual Giving Fund is the cornerstone of Holy Rosary School’s fundraising efforts and a philanthropic priority. It provides unrestricted support essential to meet Holy Rosary's most important needs and opportunities. It provides 10% of the school’s operating budget. Gifts from parents, alumni, parishioners, grandparents, and friends help continue the legacy of excellence, faith formation and preparation that a Holy Rosary School education offers. Donors to the Annual Giving Fund directly impact students and teachers through their generosity.

Why is a gift to the Annual Giving Fund important?

A gift to the Annual Giving Fund helps every student and supports every teacher. Tuition covers approximately 64% of the cost of educating a student this year. The Annual Giving Fund helps to pay teachers’ salaries, to offer specialists in band, music, drama and physical education, to purchase classroom supplies and materials and to support tuition assistance – to name a few of the many differences each and every gift makes. Support of the Annual Giving Fund keeps the tradition of Catholic Education excellence a priority and a small school environment possible.

Over the past five years, gifts to the Annual Giving Fund have totaled more than $260,000. For the past four years, the faculty and staff have led the way by reaching 100% participation in making a financial gift to the school. A gift to the Annual Giving Fund continues to inspire the efforts of all of those at Holy Rosary who seek to provide and benefit from the best opportunities in Catholic education. Give a gift today.
