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 Annual Fund help make this possible and are 100% tax-deductible while tuition is not. 
 
Second, gifts to the Annual Fund allow the school to add new opportunities and  programs for our students. 

In 2022, our Annual Fund provided:

• Financial Aid for current families
• New flooring in the primary building
• An expansion of our STEM Lab program to PK-1st grades
• Additional safety measures: We have added an additional daytime security officer, increased our hourly wage for officers, added security at athletic events, provided active shooter training for teachers, added security cameras, and serviced all gates and locks.
• Field trips, speakers, the Writers In The Schools (WITS) program
