Why an Annual Fund? - Saints Peter and Paul School
11:44? No, this is not a reference to any Biblical passage or a departure time from O’Hare. Rather, it is the time our school day would end if the only way we could pay our bills was with what we collected in tuition. No afternoon classes! No sports program! No extra-curricular offerings! The actual per pupil cost this year is $6,533 although tuition for one child is set at $4,400. This provides only 59% of the revenue in our $3.5 million budget. How can we afford to keep our doors open? For over 160 years the parish has viewed the school as an important ministry and this year will provide $545,221 in subsidy. The parents’ fundraising efforts, such as the Auction, generates an additional $130,000 in revenue. Finally, earnings on our endowments, as well as Advancement Board fundraising such as the Annual Fund Appeal, help us to further close the gap by accounting for an additional $551,349. Won’t you support our Annual Fund Drive and help fund the quality, Catholic education our children are receiving?

Tuition is further reduced for families that need assistance to give their children a Catholic Education Advancement Fundraising – 4% or $261 15% Home & School Fundraising – 4% or $261 through the Tuition Assistance Endowment. Fees and Other – 7% or $457 Through the endowments and fundraising, the Advancement Board contributes approximately 15% to the school’s $3.5 million annual budget. These endowments allow Saints Peter and Paul School to pay our teachers a little more, make our tuition a little less, and replace our infrastructure a little faster than other catholic schools. How our Endowments Continue to Grow The Annual Fund The first $65,000 from school families is applied to the operational budget. Contributions from non-school families go to the Frank Glowaty Teachers’ Endowment. Golf Outing Net proceeds from this event, as well as endowed scholarships, provide financial aid with surplus golf funds added to the Tuition Assistance Endowment. The Frank Glowaty Teacher’s Endowment The Tuition Assistance Endowment Capital Gains from a strong Stock Market Helps our endowments grow which allows for market gains and earnings to be re-invested in all of our endowments. The Capital Improvement Endowment The Annual Fund Proceeds are contributed to the corpus of our Capital Improvement Endowment. In addition to supporting either the Teachers' or Tuition Assistance Endowments, donors have the option of having their tax-deductible donations be applied to our Capital Improvement Endowment which addresses the needs of our aging facilities. 201 E.
