Annual Fund
Tuition keeps us GOING, the Cathedral Annual Fund keeps us GROWING.
The annual operating revenue for Cathedral School is not funded by tuition alone. Fundraising is needed to bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual operating costs. The Annual Fund continues to position Cathedral School at the front of the pack in terms of innovation, teacher salaries, and campus upgrades.
The Annual Fund is made up of the following fundraising opportunities:
Donations from Parents, Grandparents, Parishioners, Staff
Donations from Alumni & Parents of Alumni
Celebrate Cathedral Gala & Paddle Raise
April in Paris(h) online auction
Corporate Matching Gifts
$400 per Family Annual Fundraising Fee

Leave a Legacy
In addition to the Annal Fund, Cathedral School has a “Legacy and Faith Program” to encourage alumni, parents and other friends to make a lasting gift for future generations of Cathedral School.
“Legacy” gifts are bequests or estate designations in your will, trust, life insurance or retirement plan to benefit Cathedral School. They are placed into the Cathedral School Endowment where they are preserved and the earnings are used for the ongoing support of students needing financial aid, maintaining excellent academic programs, and retaining the very best teachers.
There are many ways to structure a legacy gift. It can be a fixed amount of money or a bequest of a specific item of property, such as a house. Another way is to leave a residuary gift in your estate. That involves leaving a percentage of the remaining value of your estate after all other bequests have been made.
Consult your estate-planning advisor to make sure your legacy plan expresses love for those who are most important to you. To include Cathedral School in your legacy planning, our legal name is: Cathedral Church, Portland Oregon. Tax ID #93-0978500. Please contact our principal, Mrs. Amy Biggs regarding your legacy plans.
