Giving and Getting Involved 2019-2020

A guide to

Giving & Getting Involved Igniting Passions to Impact Our World

WELCOME TROJANS!

All Saints Family and Friends, The All Saints community is made stronger by the powerful trifecta of wonderful teachers, eager students and dedicated parents. A myriad of opportunities await you when you get involved in the All Saints Community. It is with great joy that I share with you the 2019-2020 Guide to Giving and Getting Involved!

In the following pages, you will see how you can become a partner in your child’s success by participating in our many activities and events, or making a philanthropic gift to The All Saints Fund. You can volunteer as a Parent Ambassador or with the Parent Association. You can become a member of FAME (our fine arts booster club) or the Athletic Booster Club.

We hope you will get involved by offering:

TIME

TALENT

TREASURE

Your participation and generosity will make a difference not only to our students, but also to our entire school community.

I am thrilled to be a part of this dynamic school as an employee and a current parent, and I think this is going to be an amazing year at All Saints! In advance, I appreciate your generosity and involvement.

Sincerely, Claire Bufe Hodges

The All Saints Fund All Saints Fund Chairs Keira and Joe McCreery with sons Sully, Class of 2018 and Brogan, Class of 2020.

All Saints Episcopal School has played a vital role in our family’s lives since we moved to Tyler and our boys started here in 2012. Our sons have very different interests and All Saints has served each of them incredibly well- Athletics for Sully and the Arts for Brogan - all the while with tremendous Academic and Spiritual growth for both.

Because the school has given so much to our family, it’s easy for us to give to the All Saints Fund every year. We make it a top priority as part of our philanthropic efforts. We know that the All Saints Fund is vital in helping make our school extraordinary. Unique programs like Copper Roof Media, stellar college advising and our prosthetics program are all possible in part because of the All Saints Fund. Our goal is 100% parent participation - and no amount is too small. PLEASE JOIN US in donating.

Participation by Grade Level

Are you “ALL IN” for the All Saints Fund?? oday!

Donate T

We measure participation in The All Saints Fund by Grade Level. If your child’s grade level hits 100% participation, they will get a PIZZA and KONA ICE Party!

What is Participation?

When we ask All Saints Parents for 100% Participation in The All Saints Fund, that means that when you give ANY AMOUNT ($5, $10, $100, etc.) You will be counted in your child’s participation percentage. You just have to give ONE TIME and it will count for all your children’s participation percentage.

Why do you give to The All Saints Fund?

Wyatt, 2nd Grade Reeves, Preschool

“Drew and I donate to The All Saints Fund because it enhances our school’s curriculum, ensures that All Saints has the very best teachers, and provides Wyatt and Reeves with exceptional educational experiences that are making a lasting impact on them at a young age.”

Tate, 10th Grade Alex, 12th Grade

Ruby, 4th Grade Frank, 6th Grade

“Our pledge to the All Saints Fund is our commitment to excellence. We know our contributions enhance the ability to provide a lasting impact by enabling All Saints to bridge the gaps necessary to provide quality teachers, a challenging curriculum with real life experiences, and support of the athletics, fine arts, and religious programs.”

“William and I make a taxdeductible gift each year to The All Saints Fund to help ensure All Saints has the very best faculty and can provide great professional development for our teachers.”

THE ALL SAINTS FUND

All Saints Fund FAQ’s We already pay tuition, why do we need to donate money to the school?

All Saints sets tuition at a lower cost to make an All Saints education an affordable option for more families and encourage diversity. Funds raised through the The All Saints Fund provide “value-added” programs for your children in order to take our school from good to great!

Who gives?

Everyone in the All Saints community! Parents, grandparents, alumni, Board of Trustees, faculty and staff, and friends of the school.

How much should I give?

That is entirely up to you, but we hope that All Saints will be a philanthropic priority for every All Saints family. We ask that you make a gift that is meaningful to your family. No gift is too small and every gift is important and appreciated. Last year, the average gift size was $250, with gifts ranging from $30 to $10,000.

What is a matching gift?

A matching gift is a contribution to All Saints by your employer. If your organization has a Matching Gift Program, then it will match, or possibly exceed, your annual gift to All Saints. This is a unique way for donors to increase the impact of their personal gift, so be sure to check with your employer.

What does the money from the The All Saints Fund go toward?

Gifts cover “value added” expenses such as: • Enhance the breadth and depth of our curriculum • Attract and retain the finest faculty • Augment financial aid • Technology improvements • Sustain the operation and maintenance of our facilities and 150-acre campus

How will my All Saints Fund gift be acknowledged?

Your gift will be acknowledged in the Annual Report, which is distributed each spring and lists all donors to the school. If you prefer, you can make your gift anonymously by directing the Development Office to not list your name. If your gift is matched by your employer, the matched amount will be counted towards your total giving and acknowledged as such in the Annual Report.

What is planned giving?

A planned gift is a donation you make today that provides significant benefits to you and future support to our vision - sometimes much more than you might otherwise have thought possible. Bequest intentions and other gift planning opportunities such as gifts in your will or living trusts, charitable gift annuities, and outright gifts of cash can offer substantial tax benefits to you and your family.

Why not simply raise the tuition and eliminate The All Saints Fund?

All Saints sets tuition at a lower cost to make an All Saints education an affordable option for more families and encourage diversity. In addition, gifts to The All Saints Fund are completely tax-deductible while additional tuition would not be.

THE ALL SAINTS FUND

All Saints Ambassador

The goal of this special group is to serve as an army of volunteers who represent and promote All Saints in a positive manner within our school and the Tyler community.

The Ambassadors volunteer both on and off campus. By partnering with the Admissions Office, this wonderful group of volunteers is empowered to actively expand the school’s network within the East Texas community, engage with families during the admissions process, and celebrate the All Saints difference!

Our group welcomes everyone within the All Saints community who would like to share what it means to Discover Your All! There are many ways for you to engage in the Ambassador organization, you just need to love All Saints. We currently have 75 parents who are All Saints Ambassadors, and hope to see this number grow to include more parents, faculty and staff, alumni, grandparents, and past parents. We want to include all of you who share a love for All Saints and wish to contribute to its future success by celebrating and sharing the many extraordinary opportunities granted to All Saints students! Please take a moment to read more about how you can become an All Saints Ambassador!

PARENT AMBASSADORS

Parent Association

Every All Saints parent is a member of the Parent Association (PA). The PA supports and promotes the mission of All Saints by enhancing many of the school’s outstanding programs and communicating between the parents, teachers, and administration.

The PA coordinates with administration to plan a variety of school-wide and division specific events, such as the Back-to-School Fair, Field Day, and Faculty / Staff Appreciation lunches and breakfasts. The PA also hosts the annual Spring Gala fundraiser which provides many volunteer opportunities and is a wonderful way to get to know other All Saints parents while raising money for All Saints.

There are many ways parents can help to continue All Saints’ history of excellence. The success of the PA efforts and events relies heavily on volunteers, and we encourage all parents to get involved in the area that suits their time and talents.

Athletics Booster Club

The All Saints Athletic Booster Club plays a vital role in promoting excellence in our Trojan athletic program by funding the “extras” of a quality program and providing a network of volunteer support. It raises money for All Saints athletics through concession sales, merchandise sales from The Armory, and by selling athletic season passes. Everything raised directly benefits the physical education and athletic programs for all 3K through 12th grade students.

Over the past five years, the Athletic Booster Club has donated over $225,000 to positively impact our athletic program, our school, and our community. It has purchased fencing for our baseball and softball fields, netting for our hitting facility, equipment for our weight room and strength and conditioning programs, basketball and volleyball NOAH Training Systems, equipment for all Upper and 6th-8th grade teams and our Lower School physical education department, spirit banners, and an athletic trailer. The Booster Club has also provided funds to complete our Lower School playscape, purchase buses, support our Fellowship of Christian Athletes huddle, and promote awareness for the Cancer and Cystic Fibrosis Foundations and Promise Academy.

Below are just a few ways to volunteer to support Trojan athletics: • Concession Volunteer • Special Events Committee • Spirit Committee • Team Parent • The Armory Volunteer
