Annual Fund

Welcome to the Greenwich Catholic School Growing in Grace Annual Fund for the 2024-2025 school year. The Growing in Grace Fund builds upon the tradition of our beloved Annual Fund, while allowing you, our valued supporters, to have a direct say in where your contributions make a difference.

The Growing in Grace Annual Fund represents a critical component of GCS's operating budget each year. We ask GCS families to donate to the Annual Fund Campaign because:

• 100% of funds raised stay at Greenwich Catholic School.
• There is a nearly 20% gap between what tuition covers and the actual cost of a GCS education. Gifts to the Growing in Grace Annual Fund are used to offset this shortfall and mitigate the cost of tuition.
• The Annual Fund Campaign is a critical success factor for our school. Its success tells the administration and faculty, new and prospective parents, and grant-makers that we are confident and invested in Greenwich Catholic School.

The Annual Fund's target is to raise $200,000 with 100% participation before the end of the fiscal year on June 30, 2025.

Your participation is a testament to our shared commitment to nurturing the potential within each of our students. Every dollar contributed meaningfully invests in our school's growth and development. Plus, you have the choice as to how your donation is directed.
