A New Vision for Catholic Education and Formation

The Advancement Foundation is in the early phases of a multi-year fundraising effort that will strengthen our Catholic education and faith formation initiatives in the Diocese of Fort Worth. Our goal is to make our schools more affordable and available to all. Strategic priorities of the campaign include a new model to distribute family-based tuition assistance, provide fair and just compensation for our dedicated faculty and staff, consolidate operations to effectively leverage purchasing power and scale, and address capital expansion projects to upgrade our facilities and bring Catholic schools to more areas of the diocese. We also seek to significantly enhance the faith formation opportunities provided through parish religious education programs, youth ministry and campus ministry programs.

Priority One: Tuition Assistance, $50 million (est.)

"My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19

As we shift to a family-based tuition assistance model with funding decisions made by independent boards, our goal is to increase enrollment and inject new revenue into our schools to provide all families the finest classical Catholic education possible.

Priority Two: Educator Pay and Benefits, $30 million (est.)

"For the scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it is threshing," and, "A worker deserves his pay."
Timothy 5:18

Our educators should make a living wage. They should be able to dedicate their time and talents to the Church and know that their families are also provided for.

Priority Three: Capital Expenditures, Amount to be Determined

"By wisdom a house is built, by understanding it is established; And by knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and pleasing possession."
Proverbs 24:3-4

Most of our facilities need major renovations. Simple playground structures require upgrades. Safety and security technology, including camera systems and coded access, are vital for our schools. The new classical curriculum requires enhancements, such as outdoor learning spaces, on all school campuses. Additionally, the campaign will address major capital funding to construct new Catholic schools.
