• Q.

  How does my gift to The Fund for All Saints benefit me?

   

  The tuition our families pay covers only 80% of the yearly cost of educating each student, including yours.  This leaves a gap averaging $1900 per student.  The Fund for All Saints is the major source of revenue closing that gap. We encourage every family whose family benefits from All Saints’ many offerings to make our school a top philanthropic priority.

• Q. Why doesn’t All Saints charge the full cost of educating each student instead of raising funds each year?

  There are three key reasons:

  1. Accessibility: Increasing tuition to cover the full cost of education would make All Saints financially out of reach for some families.
  2. Tax Benefits: As a non-profit, All Saints offers the advantage of tax-deductible donations to The Fund, unlike tuition payments, which are not tax-deductible.
  3. Community Support: The Fund enables members of our broader community—such as grandparents, Board members, alumni, and local businesses—to actively support our mission and invest in every student’s success.

• Q. Why doesn't All Saints charge more tuition to cover costs?

  The Board is committed to keeping tuition at the lowest possible level while providing the highest quality education for children. Affordable tuition allows All Saints to attract a diverse population of talented students.

• Q. How much should I give?

  Consider the blessings you have received through being a part of the All Saints family. What you give is up to you and your family, but we hope you will keep All Saints as a philanthropic priority. We receive gifts from $10 to $10,000, and each gift is valued and used wisely.  The important thing is to give something.

• Q. Is my gift to the All Saints Annual Fund tax deductible?

  Yes, it is! While tuition is not tax deductible, your gifts to the school certainly are.

• Q. Do all families of All Saints students give?

  Our goal is to have 100% participation from parents, faculty and staff, and the Board of Trustees. Last year 100% of faculty, staff and board members gave.

• Q. Why is 100% participation so important?

  100% participation signals to the larger community, including foundations and other donors, that our families believe in the education provided at All Saints. Families who give feel ownership in the school.

• Q. Can we designate where we would like our gift to be used?

  Certainly, although unrestricted donations give the school the most flexibility in meeting needs.

• Q. Does my pledge need to be paid immediately?

  Families are encouraged to make their pledges as soon as possible, but we ask that payments be made by the end of May 2025.
