WHAT IS THE BEARCAT ANNUAL FUND?
The Bearcat Annual Fund will not only bridge the difference between tuition and the actual cost to educate a child. The Bearcat Annual Fund is a yearly fundraiser with two goals. The first goal is to raise additional funds to fill the difference between the cost of educating a Bearcat and the tuition charged to all families. The annual fund allows us to maintain our academic excellence programs, staying one step ahead while not charging our families the actual cost to maintain this excellence, keeping St. Monica Catholic School affordable for all families. The second goal is to raise funds for academic programs that our regular operating budget cannot support, ensuring we always provide our students with the most up-to-date programs and facilities.
WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE BEARCAT ANNUAL FUND?
Our goal is to raise $210,000, which will go directly to the operating costs of the school, and to have 100% participation from all Bearcat families. All funds raised above $210,000 will support safety and security needs.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Everyone is asked to participate in the Annual Fund by giving what they can and remember that no gift is too large or small. As we seek additional funding for the school through grant proposals it is important to show that our school community is supportive and involved.
Gifts to the St. Monica Catholic School Bearcat Annual Fund are tax-deductible and qualify for Matching Gift Programs.
