Annual Falcon Fund

- Thank you for the many invaluable roles you play in the St. Mary's community. Your gift to the Falcon Fund, accounting for more than 6% of the School's operating budget, is directly invested in support of our faculty and students. Every gift, regardless of size, is invaluable and greatly appreciated, as it provides unrestricted funding to help offset the cost of educating each student. Annual giving helps fund essentials within the school budget, including faculty salaries, instructional materials, and student activities.
  
  You can visit our FAQ's below or click on the brochure to your left to learn more. Please get in touch with Mrs. Brannam at [email protected] or 254.778.8141 ext 423 for questions or additional information.
- Why Give? Isn't Tuition Enough?
  The Falcon Fund is the easiest way to give. Since there are no fundraising costs, 100% of each tax-deductible gift goes directly to the school's needs. All development efforts help keep tuition increases to a minimum.
  
  Tuition alone doesn't cover the day-to-day expenses of educating each student. Your gift to the Falcon Fund provides unrestricted support to help cover these costs and enhance their intellectual, spiritual, and personal development.
- Will My Gift Matter?
  Our Goal is 100% Participation!
  
  We invite all families and friends of St. Mary’s to support the Falcon Fund by giving what they can, remembering that no gift is too big or small. Your gift directly supports:
  Teacher Salaries
  Technology
  Student Activities
  Classroom Materials
  Academic, Arts, & Athletic Programs
  Safety Infrastructure
  As we work towards securing additional funding through grant proposals, your active participation in the Falcon Fund is a strong demonstration of our collective commitment. Foundations often consider this participation rate when determining the level of support they provide to St. Mary’s.
- Can My Gift Be Matched?
  Matching your gift is a great way to double or even triple your impact! Many companies match cash gifts from employees to qualified non-profits. Encourage family and friends to participate, especially if they work for a company that participates in a matching gift program. The company match will be credited to you, and you will receive donor recognition for the total amount. Typically, employees must submit forms to their employer and can find matching gift benefits from their HR Department. Click here to learn more.
- When is the Falcon Fund?
  The Annual Falcon Fund begins with our "September Month of Giving", and funds are applied directly to the current school year which runs from July 1 to June 30.
- How Do I Participate?
  There are several ways to participate. You can make a gift online, by mail, or drop off your pledge card directly to the school.
  Please visit our Ways of Giving page for additional options where your gift can be designated to the Falcon Fund. Encourage family and friends to participate, especially if they work for a company that participates in a matching gift program.
