What is the Nolan Catholic Annual Fund?

The Nolan Catholic Annual Fund is the “gift every year” that Nolan counts on from our family – parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty and staff, and friends – to help underwrite the cost of a Nolan Catholic education. The Annual Fund is the largest source of unrestricted income allow us to provide a Catholic education to the 770 students that we serve. The annual fund bridges the gap between tuition and the full cost of educating our students.

Why is the Nolan Catholic Annual Fund important?

Like all Catholic schools, tuition and fees alone do not cover the cost of providing a Nolan Catholic education. Not only do we need to close the gap, but also, need to have funds available to provide for financial aid, professional development for faculty and staff, and capitalize on opportunities to enhance our academic, spiritual, extra-curricular, and athletic programs. Tuition and fees only cover a portion of operating costs. We increasingly rely on private support to keep tuition low. Continued support of the Nolan Catholic Annual Fund will benefit current students with an education based in faith, formation based in hope, and perseverance in charity.

Who supports the Nolan Catholic Annual fund?

How much and when should I give?

Philanthropy is personal. We are all called to give back in our own way. We do ask that you be as generous as your means allow.

Why is participation so important?

Participation by 100% of our Nolan community is critical for the School as we approach outside supporters. When approaching potential external corporations and foundations it is imperative to demonstrate strong internal support for the school through the Nolan Catholic Annual Fund.
