How Your 2024 Annual Appeal Contribution Can Make a Difference

The Annual Fund Appeal helps us to make and keep Catholic education affordable to all families in our community. The tuition that you pay each month is only one piece of what it takes to ensure that our students are receiving the excellent education in a safe environment that they need. Our surrounding public school districts are spending considerably more dollars per pupil than our tuition cost, with NCUSD203 spending 167% more per pupil, and IPSD204 spending 117% more per pupil. Your contribution to the appeal ensures the continued excellence of All Saints and helps us to fund various school needs, including academic enhancements, faculty development, classroom technology, supplies and equipment, and operating expenses. Every dollar raised is used to enrich the lives of our students in their pursuit of academic and spiritual development, so that they may be the future Catholic leaders that our world so greatly needs.

 

 Each contribution to the Annual Fund Appeal, no matter how great or small, is affirmation of your belief in our mission. For that, we thank you!  

 

Contact us to contribute today!  Thank you for your belief in Catholic education and the Mission and Vision of All Saints Catholic Academy. 

 

Your gift could go even further with a matching gift.  Click here for a list of companies that may match your gift to All Saints.  If you do not see your company here, please check with your human resources department.  

 

RaiseRight Gift Card Purchases

 

There is one opportunity that is available to ALL school families all year long, and that is our RaiseRight program.   RaiseRight is a convenient and powerful fundraising program which helps ASCA families earn credits toward their tuition simply through the purchase of gift cards to establishments where the buyer regularly shops, dines, purchases their morning coffee, or travels.  For every gift card purchased, a percentage goes towards your Family Fundraising Obligation (FFO).  Families pay the face value of the gift card, and the percentage offered by the retailer will go toward your tuition.

 

Our RaiseRight team would like you to know more about this earning opportunity. It is easy to get started.  If you are not already taking advantage of this offering - this is the time to get going!

 

RaiseRight earnings from March 1, 2025 forward will earn tuition credits toward the 2025-2026 school year.     Begin earning TODAY - it’s easier than you think! Raise Right has over 580 vendors available to purchase gift cards from and use at your convenience. 

 

What You Need to Know About RaiseRight

Here are a few key points to clarify before you get started:

 

1. Contact RaiseRight@ascacademy.org and ask for the activation code needed to start your online RaiseRight account

 

2. Go to the website raiseright.com and set up your account. It costs nothing to join and only takes a few minutes. You can even link other relatives and friends to your account- you’ll earn tuition credits much faster if other people are buying gift cards too.

 

3. Start shopping and earning! By purchasing items with these gift cards rather than your credit card, you’ll see how easy it is to earn tuition credits.  All you have to do is purchase the gift cards through RaiseRight!

 

Now that you have your account all set up and are ready to earn some tuition credits, you may have some questions as to how this works.

 

Let’s clarify these questions:

1. Each vendor states how much they are willing to give to ASCA with your purchase. For example, Land’s End states “Earn 15%” below its name. This means you will earn 15% of your purchase of gift cards from Land’s End as a tuition credit.  If you purchase a $100 gift card, you will earn $15 as a credit toward your tuition. Each vendor is different in their reimbursements but they will all be credited toward your tuition.

 

2. Each vendor has different ways to purchase their gift cards. Here is what the different options mean:

 

a. Physical- an actual gift card like you would purchase in-store. If you miss a “Ship To School” window you can still order these gift cards and choose to have them mailed directly to you.

 

b. eGift- an electronic gift card that will normally load within minutes of purchase to your Scrip/Raise Right wallet. From here you can print, copy online codes, and view balances.

Download the RaiseRight app to your phone and always have your eGift cards ready to use.

 

c. Reload- the ability to add more funds to already purchased physical gift cards. Once you have a physical gift card you can register this card to your account and keep adding funds as needed. No need to keep buying new cards every time your funds run out- reload!

 

Here are some easy ways to earn tution credits from places you probably visit frequently. Remember, even small rebates add up over time! While grocery stores don’t offer huge rebates, keep reloading your cards and you will start to see your tuition credits add up as well. The key is to be consistent and frequent in your purchases and reloads.

 

Sign up for RaiseRight emails and be notified of vendor “bonus” days. This is when select vendors increase their rebates for a given amount of time. This is the best time to reload your most used cards or plan ahead and purchase gift cards for upcoming events like graduations, weddings, birthday parties, or holiday meals.

 

Once you get used to purchasing and using your Raise Right gift cards you will be amazed how easy it is to meet grow that tuition credit without really trying! There is nothing more satisfying than buying gift cards to buy school uniforms, complete home renovations, book travel plans, or enjoy a quick meal AND earn tuition credit while doing it!

Tax Credit Scholarship Campaign Update

Thank you to everyone who has expressed past support for this program.  It is with deep sadness that the Invest in Kids Act Tax Credit Scholarship Program was allowed to sunset at the end of 2023.  

 

Since January 2024, they have been working hard to reinstate the Invest in Kids Act. This has included meeting with legislators, listening to their concerns, asking lobbyists to meet with specific legislators, working with lead sponsors, and trying to build partnerships with school choice minded coalitions.   Unfortunately, progress is slow moving. Simply put, tax credit scholarships are an issue that legislators wish would just go away, and the longer they run from us, the more likely they think that will happen.

 

If this is a program that resonates with you personally or philosophically, you are encouraged to contact your elected representatives to make your voice known, as you are their constituents.  As parents, especially those they are elected to represent, give a reason for them to meet with you.  It is only through grass roots, boots on the ground activism that school choice and opportunity can possibly return to the State of Illinois. 

 

God Bless and Go Saints!
