Join us in supporting our 2024-2025 Annual Giving Fund campaign, Let Your Light Shine. This theme reflects the spirit of Holy Cross School, where each student is encouraged to let their gifts and talents shine through faith, scholarship, and service to others. Our Annual Giving Fund plays a crucial role in helping us continue to provide an exceptional education in a nurturing, faith-filled environment. This year, your donation will support two vital areas:
Facilities Improvements: Ensuring our students have access to a safe, modern, and inspiring learning environment.
Tuition Assistance: Helping families in need, so that more children can experience the transformative education offered at Holy Cross School.
Your generosity allows us to further our mission and make a lasting impact on the lives of our students. Every gift, no matter the size, contributes to the continued success of our school community and empowers us to light the way for future generations.
We kindly ask you to make a donation, and let your light shine by supporting our students, families, and school. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Together, we can make a difference!
Annual Giving Fund FAQs: (Please click on each question for more information.)
+ How do I donate to the Annual Giving Fund?
- Click the yellow donate button at the top of this page to make your gift securely on-line. You can make a one-time donation or a recurring monthly donation.
- Submit a check to the school office payable to Holy Cross School. Please write “Annual Giving Fund" in the memo line.
+ How long will the Annual Giving Fund campaign last?
While gifts can be made at any time, the active part of our campaign will run through January 31, 2024. The sooner funds are raised the sooner we can put the proposed plans into action!
+ Is there a fundraising goal for the Annual Giving Fund?
We aim to raise in excess of $30,000.
+ How will the money be used?
Gifts to the Annual Giving Fund will go directly in support of our operating budget and the strategic needs of the school. One of our planned security enhancement projects includes the replacement of the school’s main front doors. Additionally, the Annual Giving Fund supports our ability to provide need-based tuition assistance to families experiencing financial hardship.
+ How much should I/we contribute?
Please give as generously as possible and from your heart. Think about what a Holy Cross education and the Holy Cross community means to you and your family. Gifts of all sizes, big and small, are welcome and appreciated!
+ Why is 100% participation from the parish and school families so important?
One hundred percent participation in the Annual Giving Fund shows our commitment to Catholic education, Holy Cross Parish and School, its teachers and staff, and our children. While gifts differ in size, each gift has an impact on participation and is appreciated. When more families donate, the school is positioned better to receive grants from others who naturally want to see you donating to the school your student attends.
+ Is my donation tax deductible?
All donations are tax deductible under the law as Holy Cross School is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
+ We aren’t parishioners at Holy Cross, so you don’t expect us to give, right?
Actually, we do. We ask that everyone give something. No amount is too small (or too big) to show your commitment to your Holy Cross family.
+ Does my donation qualify for matching Corporate gifts?
Many corporations have matching gift programs for their employees, retirees, and board members that can substantially increase the overall gift. Contact your employer to determine if they will match your gift and to find out how to obtain matching funds.
+ Are there other ways to give?
Charitable donations may also be made in the form of stocks or other assets. Please contact Mrs. Z at c.zalewski@hcross.org for more information .
