Fundraising Basics
Because tuition pays for only a percentage of the actual cost to educate a student, successful fundraising is very important at St. Margaret School. Major fundraising activities, such as Lottery calendar sales, Certificate sales and Market Day supply essential income to the general operating budget. In addition, the PTG conducts yearly fundraisers to provide special income for student programs.
Our school parents are obliged to fulfill a fundraising duty in the amount of $600 per family, per academic year. Each family must complete a Fundraising Intention Form at the beginning of the school year.
There are several options available to fulfill this duty, including
- Purchase or sell lottery calendars
- Participate in Certificate Sales/Reconciling during weekend Masses
- Volunteer for a major fundraiser, such as the June Golf Outing, December Craft Show, March Fashion Show, Lenten Fish Fry, or Market Day.
The family may combine work and/or monetary donations, as long as duties total the $600 amount within the school year.
