ANNUAL FUND RECOGNITION

Giving levels allow donors to contribute at the level that is meaningful and appropriate for their family. All donors to the Annual Fund each fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) will be recognized in the Annual Report, unless they wish to remain anonymous.

Contributors at the Celtic Circle level and greater ($1,000+) will be invited to the Annual Fund’s Leadership Reception and enjoy recognition at several School events throughout the year.

Shamrock Society members ($5000+) will be invited annually to a reception with school leadership to discuss how resources are benefitting the school.

As you consider your annual philanthropic commitment consider the following:

  • Make a monthly recurring contribution to spread your gift over the year.  For example, a Leadership Gift of $1,000 can be made with a gift of $84.00 a month.
  • Ask if your employer has a matching gifts program. Your acknowledged giving society level will include any matching gift contributions and, depending on the giving level, your employer will be recognized throughout the year at school events. 
  • Can’t give today but want to support before the fiscal year end?  Pledge by emailing annualfund@stpatrickadw.org with your commitment and be sure to complete your gift before June 30, 2023. 
  • Have a company logo? Submit the image here.

FALL GOLF TOURNAMENT & THE ANNUAL FUND

Golf Tournament- Streamlined!

This past year the School Advisory Board and Home & School Association have worked together to streamline fundraising. The Golf Tournament held each fall will no longer be a separate fundraising effort and instead will be an opportunity to recognize those that commit to the Annual Fund before the golf tournament on September 26, 2022. Tickets to the golf event will be sold separately. Be an early leader and demonstrate your appreciation for the St. Patrick’s education.

  • Scholars level and above ($250+) will receive a family hole sign with your designated use and giving society that is posted on campus then transferred to the course at Manor Country Club. New signs will be printed each week. Give early to ensure your student sees their family name at carpool for as many weeks as possible!
  • Donations at the Celtic Circle level and above ($1,000+) will enjoy recognition not only at the golf tournament, but also at several other School events throughout the year. For employers and corporate sponsors, this achieves greater visibility throughout the year.
  • Members of the Shamrock Society ($5000+) will be included on a banner at the tournament.

The Annual Fund has been established as the primary fundraising effort to focus the generosity of our community to the most efficient vehicle for support of our students and dedicated faculty and staff. As there is no fundraising cost for this annual campaign, 100% of each tax-deductible contribution is used for school needs. All St. Patrick’s School families, friends and alumni, staff and parishioners are asked to participate in the Annual Fund in a way that is meaningful to them.

Did you know income from tuition only covers a portion of the cost of educating our students? The Annual Fund bridges the gap between where tuition ends and where the outstanding programs that unlock each student’s potential begin. 

Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and make a difference. When you support the Annual Fund, you give a vote of confidence to the St. Patrick’s leadership by ensuring they will have the resources they need to fully allow our faculty and students to thrive.
