ANNUAL FUND
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 terrific 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 financial
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?
What is the ?
Gifts to the Jesuit High School Annual Fund
go immediately to the school’s most pressing
needs and benefit our current students in all
aspects of their educational experience.
In addition to providing 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.

If Jesuit were to charge the true
cost to attend, it would price
many families out of being
able to experience a Jesuit
education. Our philosophy of
ensuring an affordable Catholic,
Jesuit education for all
academically qualified students
is crucial to the school’s identity.
Minimizing the annual rate of
tuition makes the mission of
Jesuit High School more
attainable for all who qualify. This is why we encourage all
financially capable families to help us offset this tuition gap by
opting to pay the “full-tuition.”

I want to make a gift to the Annual Fund,
but I cannot afford a very large gift.
What should I do?
Jesuit High School asks that all parents, alumni, and friends
consider a meaningful gift that is commensurate with their
ability to give and demonstrates Jesuit as a primary
36 JESUIT President's Annual Report 2019-20
philanthropic priority. For some a
gift of $50,000 may be meaningful
and commensurate with their
ability, while for others this gift may
be $100. Whatever the size, your
participation is important to us.
A pledge may be made now and
paid over the course of the year in
monthly installments. Pledge
payments are due by June 30,
which is the end of our fiscal year.
Can I make monthly
installments to the
Annual Fund using
my credit card?
Yes! Simply fill out the “Loyal
Tigers Club” section on the pledge
envelope to have your tax-
deductible gift to Jesuit High
School automatically deducted
from your credit/ debit card
each month.

What is the Matching Gift program?
Many companies sponsor matching gift programs to encourage
employees to support charitable organizations. Some companies
will match your gift dollar-for-dollar. This is an easy way to double
your gift to Jesuit with no additional money out of pocket. Please
check with your employer’s human resource office 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, Annual
Fund gifts help us live, while Capital gifts help us grow.
