Dear St. Isidore School Parents,

True to our Catholic mission, St. Isidore School strives to keep tuition as low as possible to provide access to more families by keeping the school more affordable. The Annual Fund is a top fundraising priority each year, helping us to bridge the gap between the income we receive from tuition/fees and the actual cost to educate a St. Isidore student. 

The gap for the 2023/2024 school year is projected to be approximately $1,200 per student. With tuition intentionally set below the full cost to educate, the Annual Fund gives families an opportunity to support the school through tax-deductible donations, and not just tuition increases. Annual Fund donations are tax-deductible whereas tuition is not.    

The Annual Fund is an essential component of our school’s funding, and as such, our goal is to receive 100% participation from all families at a level commensurate with their financial capacity.

We need every member of the community to make a personally meaningful gift. No gift is too large or too small, and all donations are tax-deductible. We hope that as many families as possible can meet or exceed our Leadership giving circle, which begins at $1,500. Together, we can close the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating each and every St. Isidore student.

All donors to the Annual Fund will be recognized in our auction program and on the school website. We look forward to thanking and recognizing our donors with additional benefits at each donor level.

We encourage our families to inquire with their employer about their Corporate Matching Gift Program, which allows you to double your donation.  Please contact your human resources department to determine if your company participates.

Your generosity is essential to our success, and we thank you in advance for your donation and support of St. Isidore School!

Gratefully blessed,

Mrs. Carol Bender, Principal
