Annual Fund

Why Give to the Georgetown Visitation Annual Fund?

Visitation students receive an academically challenging, spiritually enriched education of the highest caliber, yet the tuition they pay is considerably lower than that charged by most comparable area schools. It is also considerably less than the actual cost of their education. The Annual Fund provides an opportunity for parents and friends to help bridge this very real gap between tuition revenues and the actual cost of a "Visi" education.

All members of the community are urged to contribute to the Annual Fund each year. Please remember that dollars raised during each Annual Fund campaign directly subsidize every student's education and form a critical part of the School's operating budget.

The Annual Fund is important! Without it, the school would be hard pressed to provide equitable compensation for faculty and staff, increase financial assistance to deserving students, update technology, expand athletic and performing arts programs, and maintain our facilities and grounds properly.
