Contributions to the Holy Rosary School Annual Fund directly support the greatest needs at our school by helping us bridge the gap between tuition charged and the actual cost to educate each student.

The Holy Rosary Annual Fund runs on a fiscal calendar and will be applied from July 1st through June 30th.  

Our goal is 100% family participation!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the Annual Fund?
A: The Annual Fund is a yearly giving campaign that supports general operating expenses.


Q: Why give to the Annual Fund?
A: The Holy Rosary School’s Annual Fund is an essential source of funds for the school. Each year we ask all members of Holy Rosary School community to consider a gift to the Annual Fund so we can ensure that our students receive the best possible education.


Q: Why is the percentage of parent participation so important?
A:This is so important because when applying for grants a question frequently asked is percent of participation in giving.  Higher percentage rates create a more favorable perception and alerts the granting committee that we’ve exhausted our internal resources and we are looking for external funding. Over 72% of our families participated last year.  Our goal this year is 100%.


Q: Why do we ask for contributions when families already pay tuition?
A: While tuition does cover a significant portion of the cost of a Holy Rosary School education for each child, it doesn’t cover it all.


Q: Is the Annual Fund the same as the Endowment fund?
A: No, the Annual Fund covers operating expenses and is used in its entirety each year. The Endowment Fund uses donations to add to its principal balance with a percentage of the earnings returned to the school each year to support our financial aid program.
