The Campaign for Nativity Prep

We are pleased to be able to share the exciting news that in addition to Nativity’s ongoing efforts to raise its entire annual school budget, we are now engaged in an ambitious capital campaign, Securing the Promise, to help secure Nativity’s future.  As a tuition-free school with no guaranteed revenue stream, this campaign will ensure that Nativity Prep will be able to fulfill its extraordinary mission for years to come.  Since July 2011, Nativity has secured more than $6,700,000 in campaign pledges towards our ambitious goal of $10,000,000. 

We are more than halfway there, and although we are excited about our progress to date, we acknowledge that we still have a long way to go.  Our campaign will Secure the Promise that Nativity makes to its students – now, and for generations to come.  Through our campaign effort, we will build a significant endowment to ensure our ability to hire and retain the very best teachers for our boys.  The campaign will allow us to endow our Graduate Support Program so that we can keep our promise to provide critical support to our graduates in high school, college and beyond.  We will enhance our math, technology and science equipment, ensuring that students are prepared for the challenges and rigor of 21st century college prep high schools.  Finally, this campaign will enable us to make a NEW promise – to work with boys and their families at an earlier age, and for an additional year.  We plan to open a new 4th grade program, introducing the Nativity Prep experience to boys and their families earlier in their educational journey, in the Summer of 2013. 

The Securing the Promise campaign supports our school’s unique tuition-free model.  Having a steady, dependable source of endowment income will allow us to offer academic excellence in the classroom without sacrificing out commitment to individual attention and extracurricular programming.
