The Ursuline Fund - Parent Campaign

The Ursuline Fund is our annual fundraising initiative, providing immediate, unrestricted support for Ursuline’s operating budget and strategic priorities. These gifts give the school the ability to respond to needs and opportunities as they arise, while also supporting scholarships that help make an Ursuline education accessible to more young women. Every gift helps sustain the joyful, transformative experience that defines Ursuline.

So much of what makes the Ursuline experience exceptional! Because The Ursuline Fund provides flexible, unrestricted resources, Ursuline can respond to needs and opportunities as they arise and direct support where it will have the greatest impact. This includes helping make an Ursuline education accessible through tuition assistance, while also supporting the programs, people, and opportunities that enrich the student experience. This flexibility allows us to say yes when it matters most.

Tuition supports much of Ursuline’s day-to-day operations, while annual giving provides additional resources that enhance the student experience and allow the school to respond to needs and opportunities throughout the year. Like many independent schools, philanthropic support is essential to fulfilling our mission.

To ensure we can respond to the most pressing needs across campus, all gifts to The Ursuline Fund are undesignated. This flexibility allows us to thoughtfully allocate resources where the need is greatest each year.

Gifts to The Ursuline Fund are made each year and can be put to work immediately wherever they are needed most. Capital campaigns typically fund significant, one-time investments in Ursuline’s future, while endowment gifts are invested to provide ongoing support over time. Each plays an important role, but The Ursuline Fund provides flexibility to support the school’s needs today.

Every gift matters! We encourage each member of the Ursuline community to make a gift that is meaningful to them. Participation at every level demonstrates our community’s shared commitment to Ursuline and, collectively, provides meaningful support for the school, faculty, staff, and students.

Yes! Gifts to The Ursuline Fund are tax-deductible. After making your gift, you will receive a receipt from Ursuline Academy for your records and tax purposes. If you have questions about your specific tax situation, we recommend consulting your tax advisor.
