Annual Fund
Bridging the Gap to Further the Mission of Father Ryan High School
What is the Annual Fund?
With tuition only covering 71% of the cost to educate a student at Father Ryan, the Annual Fund plays a vital role in the success of our school and our students' experiences. The Annual Fund is an unrestricted fund dedicated to Father Ryan's areas of greatest need, not covered by tuition.
Your unrestricted gift inspires every student, every day at Father Ryan, and is crucial to balancing our annual budget. Annual Fund gifts support every aspect of the Father Ryan experience. Your generosity is a powerful expression of community and compassion that impacts every student’s potential and opportunity. Questions about the Father Ryan Annual Fund?
