2008-2009 Annual Fund
Goal
Our goal this year for Annual Fund donations is $40,000 with 90% family participation. Participation is important this year to help us gain access to grant money from Thrivent for Lutherans.
GSLS General Fund
Your Annual Fund contribution goes to the school’s General Fund. The school then uses the General Fund to subsidize every student’s tuition to keep it low, improve our facilities, expand educational programs, attract and retain our excellent staff. This Fund is a very important component of our budget each year.
GSLS Subsidy Program
Families with short-term financial needs can apply for a GSLS Subsidy to help offset tuition costs. Contributing to this program helps retain students and keep our school well-balanced.
Donation Frequency
As you consider your Annual Fund contribution this year, keep in mind that you can give any amount, and that you can give more than once during the school year. Consider monthly, quarterly, or bi-annual donations. Some families may find it most advantageous to contribute in the Fall and again in the Spring— one school year, but two tax years.
