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 2023-2024, our Annual Fund provided:

• Financial Aid for current families
• An expansion of our STEM education to lower grades
• Additional safety measures including more security staff, traffic officers, new cameras, a campus-wide speaker system, and a comprehensive security audit.
• Field trips, speakers, the Writers In The Schools (WITS) program
• Professional development for teachers and a classroom teacher's aide.
• The International Food Festival and cultural events on campus like Chinese New Year celebration and mariachis on Mexican independence day.
