Dear Friends,
We are happy to share, over 26 years we have raised $363 million and awarded 157,000 scholarships to underserved students in our 38 Diocese of Phoenix Catholic schools! In Fiscal Year 2024 we invested in our team, technology and new marketing strategies knowing we would face headwinds of economic uncertainty, inflation, and Arizona legislative regulation as well as Arizona tax changes. The investment paid off.
In FY24, we raised $24.7 million in revenue from multiple donation channels:
- Arizona Individual Tax Credits
- Arizona Corporate Low Income Tax Credits
- Arizona Disabled/Displaced Corporate Tax Credits
- Arizona Employer Matching Gift Donations
- Changing Lives with Legacy Division – Donations, IRA, Bequests, Stocks, Real Estate
In FY24 we awarded:
- 3671 Scholarships in K-12
- 252 Disabled / Displaced (Foster Children) Scholarships in K-12
Hailey, one our scholarship recipients said it best, “…the Catholic School environment fostered critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while the integration of faith-based values instilled a sense of integrity and purpose. The supportive community and emphasis on service also encouraged me to develop empathy and leadership.”
Thank you for helping us create future leaders, who indeed change the world!
God Bless,
Nancy
