Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating a Saint Bede student. Your support of the Saint Bede Annual Fund is critical as it helps to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of an education at Saint Bede Academy. Your generosity to the Saint Bede Annual Fund keeps our tuition affordable as you help fund a gap of 61%.

Each year, donations to the Saint Bede Annual Fund are listed in our Annual Report by Giving Circles and are included in your Class Participation. We encourage each class to strive to have the highest participation as possible in support of the Saint Bede Annual Fund. Gifts are tax deductible and have a direct impact on each and every student at Saint Bede Academy regardless of the size of your gift. .

A secure online donation can be made from our website. You can also call the Saint Bede Development Department and provide your credit card information over the phone at (815) 250-0278, or mail your gift to the attention of the Development Department at Saint Bede. Please view our interactive Ways to Give page which includes detailed information and instructions for various ways to donate to the Saint Bede Annual Fund.

We are grateful for all who have contributed to our Annual Fund campaign this year. The students, faculty, and staff are blessed by your generosity and dedication to Saint Bede Academy.

Our Saint Bede Annual Fund fiscal year runs from July 1 - June 30.
