WHY we FUNDRAISE in addition to charging TUITION For over 140 years, Edgewood has remained committed to providing the community with an affordable option for families seeking an exceptional high school experience focused on academic, spiritual, and personal development.

This results in a financial “gap” that requires us to raise more than $1 million annually to support the school’s general operating needs.

• Edgewood has not charged tuition equal to the cost the school incurs to educate each student.

• Edgewood receives no federal, state or diocesan financial support.

• Edgewood maintains a substantial need-based financial aid program providing assistance to over 40% of our students.

Our financial ability to meet the changing needs of our student body rests entirely on a combination of tuition and fees; income from outside business agreements; grants from foundations; sponsorship from the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa; and the charitable support of our current families, alumni, parents of alumni and friends of EHS. This brochure provides a summary of the fundraising initiatives that Edgewood undertakes to provide the most meaningful, values-based high school experience possible. With numerous options, we hope you find a way to support Edgewood High School in a manner that works best for you.

We strive for 100% participation as this helps to secure grants from foundations and other organizations to enhance our offerings.

Every gift matters, no matter the size.

FUNDRAISING for the PRESENT and FUTURE WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS The Crusader Fund subsidizes every student’s Edgewood education by bridging the $2,500 gap between tuition and the actual cost to educate each student.

The Mazzuchelli Fund provides additional need-based financial aid for families who are otherwise unable to afford an Edgewood education.

The Endowment Fund ensures Edgewood’s future financial security and guarantees an Edgewood education by combining gifts from multiple donors into a single account that is invested.

The Capital Campaign helps to improve the facilities that enhance the Edgewood experience and strengthen Edgewood’s competitive position for the future.

The E Club holds an annual event, generally with a distinguished guest speaker, to update members on how funds have been used and to attract new members. Annual membership in E Club is $1,000 or $10,000 lifetime.

Encore - Edgewood has outstanding, award-winning programs in the arts, from theatre and music to writing and visual art. Like the athletic program, these offerings for students have special needs for equipment, facilities and consumable goods. Encore has a dedicated mission of providing support for the arts. Annual membership in Encore is $1,000 or $10,000 lifetime.

E.J. Wilke Golf Outing - For over 30 years, the EHS Athletic Department has hosted this event. The golf outing honors Earl J. Wilke, former faculty member and coach with longtime ties to the school. Individual, group and hole sponsorships are available, as are other sponsor opportunities.

Giving Day - For 24 hours our community unites for an online fundraising event to celebrate and support EHS. Alumni Hall Grand Opening - To celebrate our newly renovated commons, thank our community and raise funds for the Mazzuchelli fund, we will host an event in the newly renovated space.
