Support the Annual Fund

Over the past 188 years, Pres has graduated thousands of independent, compassionate and determined women leaders who have made their mark on the world. Last year’s senior class finished the school year with several notable accomplishments. The Class of 2019 was accepted to 51 colleges and universities across the country, earned $3.12 million in scholarships and performed more than 5,400 hours of community service. Our Senior Independent Project, the newest component of Presentation’s 26-year-old leadership program, drew national recognition this spring. Presentation Academy was named a finalist by Today’s Catholic Teacher Magazine for an Innovations in Catholic Education award in curriculum and instruction. We accepted the award at the National Catholic Educational Association Convention in April.
 
There are many young women hoping to attend Presentation Academy and pursue their dreams. To fulfill the mission of our foundress, Mother Catherine Spalding, we need the loyal support of our alumnae, families, community partners and local businesses. More than 65% of our students require financial aid to cover school expenses. While the true cost of educating a Pres Girl is $15,664, the cost of tuition this year is $13,525. We must cover the difference through annual fund contributions.
 
We thank you for being a part of fulfilling a student’s dream. You are truly making a difference in the life of a Pres Girl.

CARES ACT TAX BENEFITS FOR CHARITABLE GIVING 
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the United States government signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Response (CARES) Act on March 27, 2020, providing tax benefits to supporters of nonprofits in an effort to improve charitable giving this year.
The CARES Act includes a new above-the-line deduction for charitable cash contributions of up to $300 for individuals who do not itemize deductions. For those who do itemize, the CARES Act also lifts the existing cap on annual contributions from 60% of adjusted gross income to 100%. Consult your financial advisor or tax professional with questions about how these benefits may apply to you.
Contact President Laura Dills at ldills@presentationacademy.org or (502) 583-5925 ext.107 to learn more about the impact your gift could make in the lives of students at Presentation Academy.
