I’m ALL IN for All Saints!

The All Saints Fund is our annual giving campaign that supports programs that are critical to the All Saints experience. Donations to The All Saints Fund are the additional investment of resources that ensure we can continue to provide an innovative, creative, and memorable student experience that inspires and engages all.

The All Saints Fund strengthens and sustains our operating budget as the cost of tuition does not fully fund our school. Gifts to the All Saints Fund enable our school to continue to provide the very best educational experience for our students. We ask that all families please make All Saints one of your philanthropies of choice.

ALL gifts to The All Saints Fund are tax-deductible! All pledges can be paid monthly, ending May 31, 2018. The Office of Development is happy to set up auto-draft payments.

Why is participating important?

The school’s strength is dependent upon the participation of all members of the school family.

Not only does participation enhance the spirit of our special community, but it also encourages others to join in supporting the school. The participation rate from those we serve is an indicator to foundations, corporations, donors, and prospective families that the school is strong, valued, and worthy of support.

Who gives?

Everyone! We hope parents, grandparents, alumni, past parents, faculty and staff, administrators; in short, everyone who is a part of the All Saints community will participate in The All Saints Fund.

What is a matching gift?

A matching gift is a contribution to All Saints by your employer. If your organization has a Matching Gift Program, then it will match, or possibly exceed, your annual gift to All Saints.

This is a unique way for donors to increase the impact of their personal gift, so be sure to check with your employer.

What are gifts of securities?

Donors make gifts to All Saints through securities and stock transfers. Gifts of appreciated securities offer tax advantages to the donor and are straightforward to arrange. Credit is given and a tax deduction is allowable for the value of the average of the high and low prices of the stock on the day of the transfer. Contact the Office of Development, 903.579.6008, for instructions.

What is planned giving?

A planned gift is a donation you make today that provides significant benefits to you and future support to our vision - sometimes much more than you might otherwise have thought possible.

Bequest intentions and other gift planning opportunities such as gifts in your will or living trusts, charitable gift annuities, and outright gifts of cash can offer substantial tax benefits to you and your family.

Every All Saints parent is a member of the Parent Association (PA). The PA supports and promotes the mission of All Saints by enhancing many of the school’s outstanding programs and communicating between the parents, teachers, and administration.

The PA coordinates with administration to plan a variety of school-wide and division specific events, such as the Back-to-School Fair, Trunk or Treat, Field Days, and Faculty / Staff Appreciation lunches and breakfasts. The PA also hosts the annual Spring Gala fundraiser which provides many volunteer opportunities and is a wonderful way to get to know other All Saints parents while raising money for All Saints.

There are many ways parents can help to continue All Saints’ history of excellence. The success of the PA efforts and events relies heavily on volunteers, and we encourage all parents to get involved in the area that suits their time and talents.

The All Saints Athletic Booster Club plays a vital role in promoting excellence in our Trojan athletic program by funding the “extras” of a quality program and providing a network of volunteer support. It raises money for All Saints athletics through concession sales, merchandise sales from The Armory, and by selling athletic season passes.

Everything raised directly benefits the physical education and athletic programs for all 3K through 12th grade students.

Over the past five years, the Athletic Booster Club has donated over $225,000 to positively impact our athletic program, our school, and our community. It has purchased fencing for our baseball and softball fields, netting for our hitting facility, equipment for our weight room and strength and conditioning programs, basketball and volleyball NOAH Training Systems, equipment for all Upper and Middle School teams and our Lower School physical education department, spirit banners, and an athletic trailer. The Booster Club has also provided funds to complete our Lower School playscape, purchase buses, support our Fellowship of Christian Athletes huddle, and promote awareness for the Cancer and Cystic Fibrosis Foundations and Promise Academy.

Below are just a few ways to volunteer to support Trojan athletics: • Concession Volunteer • Special Events Committee • Spirit Committee • Team Parent • The Armory Volunteer If you have questions about Booster Club, contact: President Joe McCreery at joe.mccreery@yahoo.com
