Annual Fund Campaign

 

A Commitment to Christ…

A Commitment to Excellence

 

 The Annual Fund Campaign is an essential program that helps Immaculate Conception School sustain programs and activities not fully covered by tuition. This fund is a top priority for growth and development.   Our 2010-2011 revenue goal is $175,000 and funds are slated to be used for classroom resources, tuition assistance, technology, and professional development for staff. An annual giving program affords the opportunity for the entire community to help support the mission of our school with the level at which they feel comfortable, and provides a charitable, tax-deductible gift opportunity for each donor.  

 

 

Frequently Asked Questions 

IS MY GIFT TAX DEDUCTIBLE? Yes! Gifts to Immaculate Conception School are tax deductible to the fullest extent provided by law and may be made in the form of a check, stock transfer, or credit card.

WHAT ARE MATCHING GIFTS? WILL I GET CREDIT FOR THEM WITH MY PLEDGE?  Matching gifts are gifts that an employer will give annually to an educational institution or other non-profits as an employee benefit by matching the gift made by an employee on a 1:1 2:1 or 3:1 basis. In our Annual Report, we will give full credit to the donor for any gift they make as well as any match their employer makes, provided this does not conflict with the policy of your matching gift company or foundation. In many cases, this can be a wonderful way to increase your gift to a higher gift society. For example, on a 1:1 basis, an additional $250 will credit the donor with a $500 gift to Immaculate Conception School. Simply ask your employer about the company’s matching gift program and forward the company form along with your gift; to our office. Your spouse may qualify for a matching gift as well. Restrictions do apply on some gifts, but certainly ask your human resources department for information on qualifying gifts.

 

 

WHAT ARE THE GIFT SOCIETIES? Gift societies are a method or approach to securing a number of gifts at all levels. In order for our Annual Fund to be successful, it must reflect the balance between leadership gifts and broad participation. Gift societies provide an opportunity for all donors to be recognized and acknowledged for their generosity to Immaculate Conception School. Every gift makes an impact, and no gift is too small. (See the listing of the gift societies below.)
