Annual Fund - Fill the Heart

As with most independent schools, tuition and fees do not fully cover all of Sacred Heart School’s expenses. The Annual Fund fills that gap. Gifts made to the Annual Fund directly support each student by supporting essential academic and extracurricular programs, retaining outstanding educators, and covering operational needs and expenses. The Annual Fund supports Sacred Heart School’s mission to provide an excellent education in an environment of faith and service.

The Annual Fund and Fill the Heart are one in the same! The Annual Fund sustains the school’s operating expenses and essential programs throughout the year. Fill the Heart is our day of giving and push for 100% participation in meeting our financial goal for the Annual Fund. All contributions to Fill the Heart support our Annual Fund.

Simply put, giving a gift to Sacred Heart is an endorsement of our school! Parent, faculty and alumni participation are essential to our school community. Foundations and companies awarding grants often look at overall participation of a school’s community in fundraising efforts.

A gift that is meaningful to your family is meaningful to SHS. While the amount varies for each family or contributor, a gift at any level makes an impact. Last year, gifts to the Annual fund ranged from $20 to $62,000. The average gift was $1,425. Mostly, we strive for 100% participation in our Annual Fund and Fill the Heart campaign.
