Organizer
Will one gift count for each of my children's grade level that attend St. Rose School?
Yes! If you have more than one child at St. Rose School, please be sure and add each child and their graduating “Class of” in the giving form section. Each child will receive credit for their individual grade level and challenges.
Why is the Fund-A-Needmportant?
This year’s Fund-A-Need for new cafeteria tables is such an important investment in our children and their community.
The cafeteria is more than just a space to eat; it’s a cornerstone of our students’ daily experience. It’s where they learn essential life skills—like collaboration, communication, and kindness—and form friendships that will carry them through life. These moments of connection help foster a sense of belonging that is foundational to their social and emotional growth.
Right now, our cafeteria tables are outdated, uncomfortable, and unable to fully support the welcoming, inclusive environment we want for our students. New tables will provide a space that is not only functional and safe but also inviting—a space that encourages our children to feel at home while connecting with their peers.
When we invest in something as simple as new cafeteria tables, we’re truly investing in our children’s well-being and in the strength of our St. Rose community. These tables will serve generations of students, providing a place where they can share meals, stories, and memories for years to come.
How much are families expected to donate ?
At St. Rose, we believe that every contribution—no matter the size—has a profound impact. We ask that your donation reflect what is meaningful to you and your family, knowing that your generosity directly supports your child and the future of our school.
Whether it’s a small token or a larger gift, every dollar raised brings us closer to creating a welcoming, vibrant space where our students can connect, grow, and thrive. Together, we can leave a legacy that will benefit generations of St. Rose students to come.
Why is 100% participation so crucial?
School-wide participation in the Fund-A-Need is a testament to the community’s strong commitment to the mission of the school and to the goals of a St. Rose education. Achieving 100% participation builds community, identifies solidarity, and often inspires significant additional gtifts. All Fund-A-Need gifts – large and small- make a collective impact which benefits each and every student.

Who is asked to make Fund-A-Need gifts?
Everyone in the school community – faculty, staff, current parents, past parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends – is asked to participate in the Fund-A-Need.
What is a matching gift?
Many companies will match the value of charitable gifts made by their employees. Generally, your employer’s Human Resource department will know if your company participates in a matching program and, if so, will provide the necessary forms and instructions to initiate the match. Matching gifts are a great way to leverage Annual Fund donations.
