Annual Fund
Each year, the Father Lopez Catholic High School's Annual Giving Campaign appeals to Alumni and Friends for support that makes a difference in the lives of our students. Annual Giving focuses on acquiring yearly contributions to fill the gap between what is needed and what is actually generated from tuition. While endowed funds are invested for a specific purpose in perpetuity, Annual Giving plays a vital part in the annual operation and success of our school.
The Annual Fund receives gifts on every business day of the year. Any member of the Father Lopez family may make a gift or pledge at any time during the year. In Fiscal 2009 (July 1, 2009 -June 30, 2010) the Annual Fund is working to reach a total of $100,000 in gifts.

Your gift helps us provide first-rate technology and facilities so we can send our graduates out into the collegiate ranks better prepared.
Does your gift really matter?
Yes! Every gift is important! The Annual Giving Campaign is not a campaign targeted to just a few wealthy donors. We need the investment of all Alumni and Friends in order to succeed. Every dollar counts! And you can increase your contribution at no additional cost by checking with your employer to see if they will match charitable gifts. If so, obtain a form from them, fill it out and return it with your fund gift. We'll take care of the rest.
The generosity of our benefactors this past year helped Father Lopez Catholic High School provide over a quarter of a million dollars in financial assistance to families for the 2008-2009 school year. No gift is ever too small and no act of kindness is ever forgotten.
