Bishop Dunne Catholic School

The Fund for Bishop Dunne is Bishop Dunne Catholic School’s Annual Giving campaign. The generous support and dedicated commitment of alumni, parents and friends allows Bishop Dunne to continue to strengthen its financial future. Each donation acts as a bridge between the funds generated by tuition and fees, and the actual cost of educating a student.

We ask that all members of the community make Bishop Dunne Catholic School a philanthropic priority and contribute to the best of their ability. Remember, your contribution will directly enhance the educational experience of each one of our students. We value gifts of all sizes, and every gift matters.

Tuition payments and related fees provide approximately 70% of the school’s annual operating budget. The Fund for Bishop Dunne provides a significant source of revenue that helps bridge the gap between tuition income and the full cost of a Bishop Dunne education, including funding for need based scholarships.

Although we must raise tuition to provide for growth of faculty salaries and school programs, no Catholic school could charge the actual cost of education without pricing itself out of the market. We believe that a Bishop Dunne education should be accessible to as many talented, deserving young students as possible. A diverse student population enriches the educational experience for all our students and their families.

The experience of learning at Bishop Dunne is a joyful and rewarding one. While Bishop Dunne carefully stewards its resources, the cost of this experience cannot be sustained by tuition alone. Your support for the Annual Fund plays a critical role in meeting the financial needs of the school and its many programs.

Bishop Dunne is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit educational institution, and we invite you to make a fully tax-deductible investment in our school.

There are ways we can help. You can pledge now and defer payment until later; you can also pay in installments, if that is more convenient for you. All pledge payments must be received by the close of the fiscal year, which is June 30.

The goal is $250,000.
