Catholic schools are typically funded through four sources of income: tuition, parish support, fundraising, and endowment income. In the future, we believe the portion of income that comes through fundraising will need to grow in order to keep tuition at an affordable level for young families and to reduce pressure on the parish budget. While the annual fund will ask parishioners to pray and consider a gift to support the school, we also see this as an opportunity to expand funding beyond the parish.
There is a compelling case that can be made for supporting Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic School. We plan to reach out to the greater Beloit community and the thousands of alumni that live around the country who have a heart for OLA. For parishioners, all gifts for the Annual Fund should be above and beyond annual stewardship support for the parish, which remains the top priority.
