Make a Difference and Support the Annual Fund
Tuition alone does not cover the total cost of educating a student at Lacordaire.
Donations supplement tuition and help us to meet our operating budget.
Your gift to Lacordaire makes so much possible:
Campus Maintenance & Improvements
Student Field Trips
& Outings
Professional Development for Faculty & Staff
Enhancements to Classrooms
Every gift benefits every student.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn’t tuition cover all of the education cost?
In keeping with our founders’ vision, we believe that a Lacordaire education should be accessible to as many families as possible. This means maintaining an affordable tuition level.

Who gives to the Annual Fund?
Parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, friends, and foundations.
How is my Annual Fund gift used?
Your gift is used for school programming, updates to classrooms and facilities, technology upgrades, professional development for faculty & staff, general maintenance, and more!
How much should I donate?
Please know that every gift, no matter how big or small, makes a difference in the lives of our students and faculty. You may donate any amount that feels right for you and your family.
