IMMACULATE CONCEPTION SCHOOL ANNUAL GIVING

What is the Sharing the Future Fund?

Sharing the Future is one way each of you can personally "invest" in the future of this school. Your financial commitment and prayers will assist the school and parish to secure a firm future of growth and development, based upon and inspired by faith. It is the most effective way that Immaculate Conception's benefactors can participate to support the School.

Dollars raised through the Sharing the Future provide support for the operating budget each year. It includes restricted and unrestricted gifts made from July 1 through June 30 -- the School's fiscal year. Contributions are used to fund faculty salaries, to augment and purchase new equipment, textbooks, desks and chairs, computer equipment, and to maintain and operate Immaculate Conception's educational programs and offerings.

Tuition and fees do not cover the full cost of educating a student at Immaculate Conception School, and the price of maintaining academic excellence is being balanced with dollars from parents (via tuition and gifts), fund raising events, and our parish support.

Every student today as in the past receives a "hidden scholarship" which comes from gifts and endowment income. Sharing the Future, therefore, provides a legacy of alumni support.

Why should alumni give to the Annual Fund?

• To have a positive affect on students in need of tuition assistance, faculty salaries, and specific and beneficial curriculum developments.

• To ensure that present and future students have the opportunity to receive a Catholic education. Participation, at any level, demonstrates the strong commitment alumni have to Immaculate Conception School.

• To provide a strong financial base for the parish and school to pursue and create an enriched and challenging educational experience each year.

• To preserve Immaculate Conception's very essence and traditional Catholic values for a new generation of students.

One student, educated with values and traditions of Immaculate Conception, with the benefit of caring parents and teachers, can positively affect the lives of thousands.

The future leaders of our Church and our Country are in our classrooms today. The future direction of Catholic education rests in many ways in the hands, hearts, minds of people like yourselves. Indeed the future of the Church and Immaculate Conception School in Monmouth and Warren County rests with you.
