I support the school by tithing/ paying tuition. Why doesn Bishop Carroll just raise fees to cover the costs?
Stewardship, tuition and fees cover approximately 79% of the cost of a Bishop Carroll education. Like most private religious schools, Bishop Carroll relies on charitable giving to bridge the gap between revenue and expenses. The administration. School Council, and Parents’ Organization are committed to making a Bishop Carroll Catholic education affordable to as many families as possible while maintaining the small, diverse community that makes Bishop Carroll such a special place. Your gift to the Annual Fund is also tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law, whereas tuition is not. Your Annual Fund gift may also qualify for a matching gift from your employer, which may allow you to double or even triple your support. Tuition is not eligible for such matching gifts.
