Annual Fund
What is it?
The Pacelli Annual Fund is Pacelli Catholic Schools’ main fundraising initiative. Participation in the Pacelli Annual Fund by current parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, local businesses, corporations, and friends of PCS ensures our continued health and vitality.
Why is it important?
A family pays tuition for each student they send to Pacelli Catholic Schools. PCS uses that tuition to cover some of the costs of educating that child. Key word: some.
Tuition is just one piece of the puzzle. It does not cover all of Pacelli Catholic Schools’ educational and operational costs, nor does it go toward funding scholarships or tuition assistance funds. So, to finish the puzzle, PCS raises money each year through various initiatives – efforts that fill in the gaps for the school system’s operating budget (The Pacelli Annual Fund, Panacea, Cardinal Crusade, and the Shredding Party).
Therefore, gifts to the Pacelli Annual Fund fill the gap between tuition and the cost to provide a Pacelli education. The Pacelli Annual Fund also allows PCS to tackle new projects and needs beyond those originally budgeted for at the beginning of the year.

The Pacelli Annual Fund is a powerful way to continue showing that support.
We are a school community blessed with an abundant number of wonderful families proudly carrying on the tradition of Catholic education. It gives us great joy to highlight our alumni, grandparents, parents, and students.
Cardinal Parent Appeal
Pacelli Catholic Schools also asks for 100% participation from our current parents. Regardless of your capacity, we expect families to come together in support of our mission to develop disciples of the faith and leaders of the world from early childhood through adulthood.
