Holy Cross Fund

FROM THE ADVANCEMENT OFFICE

Dear Holy Cross Families,

Welcome to a new school year! As the new Director of Advancement, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am a local Washingtonian and a product of an all-girls private Catholic education. I could not be more excited to now be a member of the Holy Cross community.

I am also excited to have the opportunity to ask you to consider a contribution to The Holy Cross Fund. Your gift is the most direct way to ensure that Holy Cross continues to thrive and meet its mission. The Holy Cross Fund directly supports every student, teacher and staff member.

The Holy Cross Fund is the school’s most important source of unrestricted operating dollars. Unrestricted gifts raised through annual giving meet operating budget needs the year they are provided and close the gap between tuition and the full cost of an education at the Academy.

The Holy Cross Fund is the school’s philanthropic lifeblood. The fund impacts everything that makes a Holy Cross education so special: • The latest technology, iPads, laptops, Apple TV’s, projectors, the best software licenses, and network services • Athletic equipment, uniforms, transportation, and training equipment for our talented athletes • Tuition assistance for our girls • Compensation and benefits for our talented and supportive faculty and staff • Top-of-the-line materials for engineering, science and arts programs • So much more…

This is the time for us to support our newest Tartans. The Holy Cross Fund is our annual fund and therefore needs support each year. Each and every gift matters so please take this opportunity to make your tax-deductible yearly gift to the Holy Cross Fund and support the next generation of Tartans.

Visit www.academyoftheholycross.org/giving for more information on how to give back. Thank you for your continued support!

Go Tartans,

Charlotte K. Powers Director of Advancement The Academy of the Holy Cross
