2009-2010 Annual Report

  

Not quite. In order for Bourgade Catholic to make Catholic education affordable, the School Advisory Board approves a reasonable tuition that best serves our families while meeting a high percentage of the operating budget. The difference between tuition and the cost of educating each student is approximately $2,800. To make up this difference, Bourgade Catholic depends on four additional sources of income for operations: donations to the Bishop Bourgade Fund; interest from endowment; limited government funding; and proceeds from special events: The Quest for Excellence Dinner & Auction, Walk a Thon and the BC Golf Classic.

The Bishop Bourgade Fund is the annual giving campaign used to fund scholarships for Bourgade Catholic students, as well as support the general operating fund. Most private secondary schools and institutions of higher education have an annual fund appeal that relies on the generous support of donors.

Think of it this way: Can you set aside $2 a week to support Bourgade Catholic’s mission to prepare young men and women to be Christian leaders in a global environment? One less stop at the local coffee house per week will provide a $100 gift to the Bishop Bourgade Fund. A small sacrifice on your part, combined with the gifts of others, will provide the Bishop Bourgade Fund experience to many young people. It also provides you with a tax deduction.
