Each year, the Annual Fund Drive begins July 1 and ends June 30 of the following year.

MAJOR GIFT DESIGNATION
Donations totaling $250 or more for a fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) are designated as a major gift.  Major gift donors are recognized as such in the annual report and are invited to attend our annual Major Gift Donors Mass.  (Donation totals include donations made through a matching gift program.  Thus, donors are invited to determine if their employer participates in a matching gift program.)

ANNUAL REPORT
The Mater Dei Catholic High School Annual Report, which includes donations received from July 1 through June 30, is distributed in August.  This publication serves as an opportunity to express our gratitude to all our benefactors – alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and students – who have helped make the past school year successful.  The listing of all who impacted Mater Dei Catholic High School during the past school year is a complex task, and every effort is taken to include all who have contributed.
