Ursuline Academy of Dallas – Ways of Giving

The ability to inspire young minds and hearts is the gift of the great teacher. It is also a responsibility eagerly embraced by every member of the Ursuline community. Meeting this challenge takes a shared commitment from all who support the Ursuline mission.

Each year, faculty salaries and benefits make up the majority of Academy operating expenses. Excellence in academic programs, technology, and facilities also requires a major continuing investment.

Tuition and fees will pay for only 88% of the cost for an Ursuline student’s education in 2007-08. So the annual giving campaign must make up for most of the balance. Through the generosity of parents, alumnae, grandparents, parents of alumnae and friends the great tradition of Ursuline Academy continues. The generosity of donors also helps minimize future tuition increases. And unlike tuition, annual giving donations are tax deductible.

Gifts to the St. Angela Merici Giving Community help to continue the tradition of an Ursuline education, a tradition that includes:

Outstanding Faculty
Innovative Student Programs
A Caring Community
Individual Growth

Examples of essential items to be funded by annual giving contributions in 2007-08:

Addition of new faculty in Math and English
Faculty professional development for all academic departments
Alignment of curricula in Math and Science
Faculty task force to develop Global Education curriculum
Implementation of new technologies
Serviam community service program
Alumnae chapters and other association activities
Highly competitive athletic programs for eleven sports
Programs for visual and performing arts

We hope you will help Ursuline continue its mission of educating young women for leadership and service in a global society. Thank you for being part of the St. Angela Merici Giving Community.
