What is the Brebeuf Jesuit Annual Fund?
The Brebeuf Jesuit Annual Fund benefits every Brebeuf Jesuit student by raising support for students, teachers, and facilities.

How else does the Annual Fund support students? 
The Fund also provides for expanded programs and activities for students, updated equipment, facility maintenance, and funds necessary for operational expenses.  Over 200 qualified students receive direct financial assistance from the Annual Fund each year.

Does the Annual Fund help support faculty?
Yes!  The Annual Fund helps pay salaries and benefit costs, and enables the school to provide professional development opportunities for teachers and staff.   

I already gave to the school this year.  Why are you asking me to give again? 
Other fundraising activities at Brebeuf provide support to specific programs.  We thank you for supporting those.  In addition, we ask for your support to the Annual Fund so that we can continue to provide vital, everyday services.  If you are unsure if you have given to the Annual Fund, contact the Annual Fund Director at Brebeuf Jesuit. 
 
How does Bistro fit in with the Annual Fund?
In addition to the thousands of volunteer hours provided by our moms, our amazing Mothers Association hosts its own fundraising event known as the Bistro.  This dinner with silent and live auctions enhances our sense of community and raises significant funds.  The Mothers Association returns its Bistro profits to the school for special projects that often could not be accomplished within the general operating budget. 

I already pay tuition.  Why do I need to give to the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund bridges the gap between tuition expense and the actual cost of educating a student.  In the 2005-06 school year, that gap is $3,061 per student.  Your gift ensures the continued formation of our students as “men and women for others.”

How can I honor someone special, such as a faculty member?
Make a gift to the Annual Fund.  Honoraria and memorial gifts are a great way to support Brebeuf Jesuit.
