What is The
Annual Giving Program?
The Annual Giving
Program is a yearly fundraiser that provides support for essential programs and
people at St. Matthew’s Parish School.
Annual Giving contributions are high impact: every dollar goes to
help every student and every teacher in this community this
year. All gifts to The
Annual Giving Program are fully tax-deductible.
What
does Annual Giving Support?
Annual Giving
supports everything that sustains the St. Matthews School experience,
including:
- Professional enrichment programs, and benefits to attract and retain
outstanding faculty and staff.
- Cutting-edge technology including SmartBoards, classroom computers
and audio/visual equipment.
- Athletic
programs which build character and teach healthy competition and sportsmanship.
- Opportunities
for students’ creative expression and personal growth in the visual and
performing arts.
- Financial aid for talented and deserving students.
- Ongoing
maintenance of our 30-acre campus including facilities, gardens, playing
fields, and grounds.
Every year a
percentage of Annual Giving also goes to support our endowment. This
ensures that we not only fund our immediate needs, but also build resources for
the future
Who donates
to The Annual Giving Program?
Every school
family is expected to make an annual giving contribution. Last year, we
achieved 100% participation from both parents and faculty.
Each
year, we count on the generosity of parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty
and staff, businesses, foundations and special friends in order to make our
Annual Giving Campaign a success. Last year, over 350 donors participated in The
Annual Giving Program.
