Our goal for 2012-2013 is to continue our tradition of 100% participation! We are currently at 95% parent participation in the Annual Fund.

The Academy has an unwavering commitment to instilling academic excellence, a passion for Christ, and leadership in each of our students. Gifts to the Annual Fund provide many of the “extras” that enable St. Paul to execute its mission more deeply and broadly. As a community, we celebrate every gift, and we are especially grateful for those who give sacrificially to strengthen our Pillars for the children of today and tomorrow.

Participate in the Challenge!

Like our peer schools around the country, the Annual Fund covers the difference between tuition and the full cost of education. While the amount that every family can give varies, the ability to give is the same, and every gift, regardless of the amount, strengthens our pillars: academic excellence, passion for Christ, leadership development. To encourage 100% participation, several families have committed to make Challenge Gifts above and beyond their Annual Fund gifts for each grade achieving 100% participation.

Annual Giving

The Annual Fund is St. Paul Christian Academy's largest source of income, other than tuition. Annual Fund gifts are critical for successful execution of our mission and provide needed support on an ongoing basis.

The Annual Fund for Fiscal Year 2013 (July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013) is in full swing, and we are extremely grateful for the outpouring of support so far this fiscal year! We are also excited that generous donors have come together by grade to offer Challenge amounts that will be given when each grade reaches 100% parent participation.

Each year, we ask parents of current and former students, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations, and friends to commit annual gifts to strengthen our pillars by helping to bridge the gap between our budgeted needs and tuition income, which is approximately 10% of our revenue.

The support received through the Annual Fund helps to provide some of the most immediate needs of the Academy, including:

Recruiting and retaining faculty and staff of the highest caliber.
Continuing our commitment to need-based financial aid.
Maintaining a cutting-edge technology program for our faculty and students.
Enhancing and augmenting our physical plant to facilitate excellent whole-child learning.
