The Visitation Annual Fund

The Visitation Annual Fund provides vital operational support across all areas of school life. As one of the many support tools that helps Georgetown Visitation provide its students with a top-notch education and experience, the Visitation Annual Fund is critical to our success. Without our community’s support of the annual fund, the school could not provide our students with the all educational and co-curricular opportunities that help them thrive.
Did you know?
- Students’ tuition does not fully cover the cost of their education.
- Your gifts help close this gap and help us continue shaping lives and building bright futures.
- All members of the community are urged to contribute annually.
- The monies raised directly impact every student’s education and form a vital part of the school’s operating budget.
Please join other parents, alumnae, past parents, faculty, friends, and grandparents who send the message that they are committed to Visitation! Your contribution to the Visitation Annual Fund ensures that our shared values and way of life endure.
Every Gift Helps the School in Many Ways
Generous donations help Visitation:
- offer a broad, innovative, and enriching education both in and outside the classroom,
- supplement salaries in order to attract and retain outstanding teachers,
- help provide over $2 million in financial aid to qualified, deserving applicants each year,
- minimize tuition increases,
- care for and sustain our beautiful, historic 23-acre campus,
- support the Sisters, so that they can continue to share in the spiritual gifts they provide.
All members of the community are urged to contribute to the Visitation Annual Fund annually. The monies raised directly impact every student's education and form a vital part of the school's operating budget.
