St. Anne's Annual Fund
Growing Good People, Together
What is the St. Anne's Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund is St. Anne’s most important yearly fundraising effort. Annual Fund gifts provide immediate support for the people, programs, and experiences that make a St. Anne’s education exceptional.
Unlike tuition, which covers a portion of the cost of educating each student, Annual Fund contributions help bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the full cost of delivering our mission.
Why does St. Anne's ask for Annual Fund gifts if families already pay tuition?
Like most independent schools, St. Anne’s relies on philanthropy to support educational excellence. Tuition alone does not cover all operating expenses.
Annual Fund gifts help support:
Outstanding faculty and professional development
Student programs and experiences
Arts, athletics, and enrichment opportunities
Campus resources and improvements
Financial aid and accessibility initiatives
Innovation and strategic priorities
Annual Fund support allows St. Anne’s to provide opportunities that go beyond what tuition alone can fund.
How much should I give?
We encourage every family to make a gift that is meaningful to them. There is no “right” amount. Participation at every level demonstrates a shared commitment to the mission and future of St. Anne’s.
What impact does my gift have?
Annual Fund gifts provide immediate support for students and teachers by funding classroom resources, professional development, arts, athletics, technology, financial aid, and other mission-driven priorities. Every gift has a direct impact on the student experience.
What is the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit?
As a qualified child care provider, St. Anne’s is eligible to offer the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit on qualifying gifts. This credit may allow Colorado taxpayers to receive a state income tax credit equal to 50% of an eligible charitable contribution, in addition to any federal charitable deduction for which they qualify. Tax laws are complex, and donors should consult their tax advisor regarding their specific circumstances.
