Thank you for supporting the Annual Fund!

Over the past 189 years, Pres has graduated generations of independent, compassionate and determined women leaders who have made their mark on the world. The class of 2020 finished the school year with several notable accomplishments:

• Accepted to 39 colleges and universities
• Earned $4.88 million in scholarships ($125,128/student = highest average among Louisville Catholic girls’ schools)
• Performed more than 4,200 hours of community service 

There are many young women hoping to attend Presentation Academy and pursue their dreams. For many, financial assistance raised through the Annual Fund is necessary to make Pres an affordable education option. 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 $15,500, the cost of tuition this year is $13,800. We must cover the difference through annual fund contributions.

Our  Annual Fund Goal for fiscal year 2020-2021 is $1.25 million. Last year’s annual campaign: 

• Bridged the gap between tuition/student ($13,800) and the true cost of educating a Pres Girl ($15,500)
• Supported our preparations for healthy and safe in-person instruction for ALL students this year
• Provided assistance to 120 families that otherwise may not have been able to attend Pres

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.
