The Annual Giving Fund is the most important fundraising effort at Holy Cross! The generosity of our community helps make all that we do possible. The Annual Giving Fund benefits each member of the Holy Cross School community.
This year, gifts to the Annual Giving Fund will go directly in support of our operating budget and the strategic needs of the school. One of our planned security enhancement projects includes the replacement of the school’s main front doors. Additionally, the Annual Giving Fund supports our ability to provide need-based tuition assistance to families experiencing financial hardship.
Your gift helps fulfill the promise of a faith-based Catholic education by putting our guiding values of faith, scholarship, and service into action. And perhaps most importantly, your support helps to keep the dream of a Holy Cross School education alive through need-based tuition assistance.
Please give as generously as possible and from your heart. While what you give is important, it is just as important that you give.

+ How much should I/we contribute?
Please give as generously as possible and from your heart. Think about what a Holy Cross education and the Holy Cross community means to you and your family. Gifts of all sizes, big and small, are welcome and appreciated!
+ Why is 100% participation from the parish and school families so important?
One hundred percent participation in the Annual Giving Fund shows our commitment to Catholic education, Holy Cross Parish and School, its teachers and staff, and our children. While gifts differ in size, each gift has an impact on participation and is appreciated. When more families donate, the school is positioned better to receive grants from others who naturally want to see you donating to the school your student attends.
+ Is my donation tax deductible?
All donations are tax deductible under the law as Holy Cross School is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
+ We aren’t parishioners at Holy Cross, so you don’t expect us to give, right?
Actually, we do. We ask that everyone give something. No amount is too small (or too big) to show your commitment to your Holy Cross family.
+ Does my donation qualify for matching Corporate gifts?
Many corporations have matching gift programs for their employees, retirees, and board members that can substantially increase the overall gift. Contact your employer to determine if they will match your gift and to find out how to obtain matching funds.
+ Are there other ways to give?
Charitable donations may also be made in the form of stocks or other assets. Please contact Mrs. Z at c.zalewski@hcross.org for more information .
