Annual Fund
The annual fund, the Fund For Excellence (FFE), is the foundation of Pope Saint John Paul II Preparatory School's fundraising program and supports the school's daily operations.
Why give to Pope Saint John Paul II Preparatory School? Doesn’t tuition cover the cost of my child’s education? It’s reasonable to ask why parents should give to a tuition-based Catholic school. Most believe that tuition covers the cost of education, but in reality, tuition only covers 80% of the actual cost of operating a school annually, leaving a gap in funding. The other 20% is covered by charitable contributions from stakeholders, including current and past parents and trustees, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, friends, foundations, and matching gift corporations.

Donor Voices
“Like most JPII donors, we participate in the Fund For Excellence (FFE) annually, so we are pleased to learn about the recurring gift option, which is a convenient way to make short and long-term donations. As parents, being engaged in the school where our children are involved in so many ways inspires us to volunteer and support the JPII community.”
- Shay and Julie Oliphant
"When I reflect upon all I received while a student at JPII, I could not be more grateful. As I desire to give back to the place that gave me so much, I have been happy to discover my employer's matching gift program, which doubles my donation's value. What a great way to support the Fund For Excellence!"
- Hogan Bryant '12
"As an alumna and once a recipient of need-based financial aid, I am committed to supporting my alma mater not only through annual donations but also as a current faculty member where I hope to impact students in the same way in which I was throughout my JPII experience."
