Is a gift to Gaudiosa
and the Hartnett
Golf Classic a gift to
the Annual Fund?
The Hartnett Golf Classic was
created strictly to support the
school’s Financial Aid Endowment.
This is terrifi c and should
continue, but does not provide
the annual operating support for
other academic or campus needs.
The Gaudiosa gala has become a
tremendous event and will continue
to be an important fundraiser
for the school. However, because
of its limited scope, it cannot be
the fi nancial base upon which
Jesuit thrives. The Annual Fund
serves as the primary way in
which all our families can support
the school.
Why not just charge
full tuition?
If Jesuit were to charge the true
cost to attend, it would price
many students out of being
able to experience a Jesuit education.
The Jesuit philosophy of
ensuring an aff ordable Catholic,
Jesuit education for all academically
qualifi ed students is crucial
to the school’s identity. Minimizing
the annual rate of tuition
What is the ?
All gifts to the Jesuit High School Annual Fund
go immediately to the school’s most pressing
needs and benefi t our current students in all
aspects of their educational experience at
Jesuit. In addition to providing additional
resources for academic, technological, and
athletic support, Annual Fund gifts also help to
ensure that the necessary funds are available to
provide tuition assistance to our students from
families with documented needs.

What should I do?
Jesuit High School asks that all parents, alumni, and friends consider

What is the Matching Gift program?

resource offi ce to initiate a matching gift to Jesuit High School.
Annual Fund vs. Capital Campaign?
The Annual Fund supports ongoing and annual expenses in the
school’s operating budget. Capital gifts are used for the building
of new campus additions and special programs. In short, the Annual
Fund helps us live, while Capital gifts help us grow.
