A Message from the Office of Advancement

Keeping Tuition Affordable

 

Philanthropic support is the backbone of every private Catholic school. All fundraising efforts are designed to offset the difference between tuition and what it actually costs to educate a child, a difference of approximately $1,000 per child. Since tuition alone does not cover the entire cost of a child’s education, fundraising is vital for the future of St. Bonaventure Catholic School.

St. Bonaventure Catholic School relies on the generosity of parents, grandparents, alumni, friends, corporations, foundations, and board members to support the financial needs required to give our students a Christ-centered education and safe environment. Now, more than ever, charitable funding is crucial to maintain stable tuition costs and continue to offer our students the very best and well-rounded education possible.

There are many Ways to Give. Join us in elevating our mission and making a difference in a student’s education.

God Bless,
