Annual Fund

May the Lord who gives us Strength and Shields us from harm shine upon Pinecrest Academy as we humbly thank Him and our generous community for our many blessings! Each year, we choose aBible verse that helps demonstrate the purpose, meaning, and value of a Cathlic education and our fundraising efforts. This year, we have chosen Psalm 28:7, The Lord is my strength and my shield. Charity is a virtue we teach here, and integral formation means these ideas are integrated into our fundraising efforts as well. It's not just about raising money, it's about building a community of charity, trust, and love for each other.

As with most private schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating a child at Pinecrest Academy. This year, tuition and fees cover approximately 93% of the education cost per student. The remaining 7% comes from fundraising efforts. Annual Fund donations provide the essential funding we need for our daily needs. Students, teachers, faculty, and staff all benefit from donations to the Annual Fund. Everyone in our community is blessed by your generosity.
