Gifts to the St. Vincent’s Fund ensure excellence in every aspect of the school.  Your gift reaches from our outstanding faculty and Adopt-A-Student financial aid program to basketballs in the gym and modeling clay in the art room.  We couldn’t do it without your help.
 
Tuition covers 80% of the actual cost to provide a St. Vincent’s education and the school relies on tax-deductible gifts to make up the difference.  A gift to the St. Vincent’s Fund is a gift to our excellence fund. 
 

"Your generous gift allows SVdP to maintain its educational excellence, and remain as affordable as possible."
Monsignor Bill Young

Why should I give? 

It is important to St. Vincent’s that our supporters understand the “why” behind asking for gifts. 
 
First, St. Vincent’s has always valued its historic identity as an affordable parish school.  We strive to keep our tuition as reasonable as possible and are committed to offering a multi-student discount.  Gifts to the St. Vincent’s Fund help make this possible and are 100% tax-deductible while tuition is not. 
 
Second, gifts to the St. Vincent’s fund allow the school to explore new possibilities each year, like an additional Destination Imagination team, Writers In The Schools, Vocabulary.com, Mathletics, and professional development opportunities for our faculty and staff.

How much should I give?

Your participation, at whatever amount is right for you, is needed and deeply appreciated. We hope those who can give more will participate with a leadership gift of $1,500 or more to support those families who cannot provide as much.  We strive for 100% participation from all current families with a donation of any amount.  Why?  A high participation rate helps when requesting grants from foundations and corporations. 
 

"Together as a community and with your support we can achieve our mission – to develop our students to their fullest potential in an environment permeated with Gospel values."
Carolyn Sears, Principal
