Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo Annual Fund FAQS
FAQS
What is The Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo Annual Fund? The Annual Fund is a critical source of immediately-expendable funds that can meet the ever-changing needs of CSGK.
What are Annual Fund gifts used for? Annual Fund gifts touch virtually every aspect of our students’ lives: academic program support, faculty development, technology, tuition assistance, student activities, classroom needs, and more.
When will my gift be used? Your gift to the Annual Fund will be spent in the year in which it is received.
Can I specify where my gift is directed? You may choose to make an unrestricted gift, to be used where the need is greatest, or designate your gift to a specific fund or program.
Why is it important to give every year? Our fiscal year ends on June 30. Every July 1, the Annual Fund begins again at $0. We depend on your support to build it up again to meet emerging needs in the new school year. Tuition covers only two-thirds of the cost of education.
I can’t afford to make a large gift. Will it really make a difference? Gifts of all sizes really do make a significant difference. In the last fiscal year, $68,000 was raised from gifts of $250 or less. Your contribution will have an immediate positive impact on our schools and students.
How can I make an Annual Fund Gift? You may make a quick, easy and secure gift using your credit card online, or give by mail with a check or credit card.
Can I arrange recurring monthly or annual payments? Yes; these are convenient ways to support the Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo. You can set up recurring gifts from your credit card or bank account through our online portal here.
