Annual Giving Fund
What is the Annual Giving Fund? (AGF)
The Annual Giving Fund is a yearly appeal to parents, parishioners, faculty, staff, board members, alumni, and special friends for contributions to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of operating the school.
Why Give?
Annual Giving Fund gifts to St. Edward School provide exceptional opportunities for growth and success to our students, faculty and staff. Gifts from alumni, parents, faculty, staff, parishioners and friends add up each year, working hard to increase tuition assistance to those families in need, strengthen curriculum with the newest materials and technology, enrich the library, support athletics, and sponsor the arts—all adding to the educational experience for all our students each and every year.
Your Annual Giving Fund gift helps make up the difference between the cost of tuition and what each student’s family actually pays in tuition maintaining St. Edward School’s reputation as a “best value” education. Annual Giving Fund gifts give St. Edward School the flexibility to make improvements and advancements by providing resilience against unexpected challenges such as building repairs, flood assistance, family needs, etc.
Every gift, whatever its size, is valuable and invested in our students immediately. Gifts may be given to the general fund for non-restricted use or to your preferred designation, including tuition assistance, fine arts, technology, athletics or other.
