Giving

The Ignatius Fund is the cornerstone of all school fundraising efforts and our first philanthropic priority. The fund, which replaces smaller, school-wide fundraisers, provides for the school’s most immediate operating expenses.

With tuition covering only 85% of the grade school’s and 95% of the preschool’s operating budgets, the Ignatius Fund is crucial for filling in the gap between tuition charged and the true cost to educate every child.

Every contribution to the Ignatius Fund directly impacts the lives of Saint Raphael Catholic School and Preschool students and faculty.  Your support of the Ignatius Fund helps:
 

• Keep premium Catholic education affordable to families without large yearly tuition increases
• Furnish curriculum resources, specialized teacher positions and cultural arts programs
• Supply upgrades and additions to our programs
• Facilitate maintenance and enhancement of the school and grounds
• Provide a tax-deductible way to promote the benefits that Catholic education offers to children, families and society.

Please check with your employer to see if they offer a matching gifts program. It’s an easy but significant way to double or even triple your donation.
