Annual Fund

All gifts to the Jesuit High School Annual Fund go immediately to the school's most pressing needs and benefit our current students in all aspects of their educational experience. In addition to providing resources for academic, technological and athletic support, Annual Fund gifts also help to ensure that the necessary funds are available to provide tuition assistance to our students from families with documented needs.

The annual Hartnett Golf Classic and Gaudiosa gala support the school's Financial Aid Program; they do not support the Annual Fund. These special events will continue to provide phenomenal support for Financial Aid and be outstanding fundraising events for Jesuit. However, the Annual Fund serves as the primary way in which all Jesuit families can support the school.

If Jesuit were to charge the true cost to attend, it would price many students out of being able to experience a Jesuit education. The Jesuit philosophy of ensuring an affordable, Catholic, Jesuit education for all academically qualified students is crucial to the school’s identity. Minimizing the annual rate of tuition makes the mission of Jesuit High School more attainable for all who qualify. This is why we encourage all financially capable families to help us offset this tuition gap by opting to pay the “full tuition.”

The 2023-24 tuition is $19,240. The actual cost for each Jesuit student is closer to $21,240, leaving a $2,000 per student budget shortfall, or "gap."

Yes. Jesuit is a 501(c)3 public charity and your gifts to the Annual Fund are 100% tax deductible.

Jesuit High School asks that all parents consider a meaningful gift that is commensurate with their ability to give and demonstrates Jesuit as their philanthropic priority. For some, a gift of $50,000 may be meaningful and commensurate with their ability to give, while, for others, this gift may be $25. Whatever your gift, your participation is important to us.

The Annual Fund supports ongoing and annual expenses in the school's operating budget. Capital gifts are used for the building of new campus additions and special programs. In short, the Annual Fund helps us live, while Capital gifts help us grow.

For the 2022-23 school year, more than $2,500,000 in financial aid has been committed to 33% of the student body.

Jesuit, like many non-profit institutions, has established gift levels to assist the school's leading benefactors in setting an example to encourage other financially capable supporters. By recognizing high-level donors through the named gift levels, Jesuit hopes the example of generosity, good stewardship, and commitment will inspire others to respond in kind.

The following gift levels are acknowledged each year in the President’s Annual Report “Honor Roll of Donors.” Each summer contributors to the President's Circle and above (donors over $1,500) are invited to the annual President’s Mass and Brunch in recognition of their leadership generosity.
