Current Goals for the Fundraising Efforts for the Alliance


Curriculum Enhancement

Newly adopted State of California mathematics textbooks for all Alliance Schools for academic year 2008-2009, over 2200 books - $184,000
Professional Development for all faculties in Differentiated Instruction - $166,066

Tuition Assistance

Family Discounts - in most AMDCS discounts given to families for siblings, or lower rates charged for parishioners, is an unfunded item in their budget. While a mission component, this shortfall in operating income can be a hardship on the schools and faculty. Forty-five percent of the students enrolled in AMDCS schools receive tuition assistance from BASIC Fund, the Archdiocese, and generous foundation and individual donors.

Tuition Endowment

The AMDCS Strategic Plan calls for the establishment of an endowment to support tuition assistance by July 2011. This will provide financial assistance to the most needy families in our community.

Capital Endowment

The AMDCS Strategic Plan calls for the establishment of an endowment to support the ongoing capital improvement needs of the member schools by July 2011. The days when the parish community could build and maintain schools buildings have passed us by! Parents who struggle to pay tuition are not capable of providing for the facilities’ needs and keep their child enrolled in our schools. An endowment that provides annual resources will complement the master site plan under development.
