List of 4 frequently asked questions.

  • St. Paul's Annual Fund

    Gifts to the Annual Fund impact every aspect of the school, providing the resources to meet daily operational needs and supporting top priorities in financial aid, academic programs and faculty development. St. Paul’s tuition alone does not cover the cost to educate our students. The Annual Fund helps to fill the gap.

  • Capital Campaigns

    Capital Campaigns fund special projects such as building expansion, facility upgrades and property acquisition. To discuss capital priorities for the school, please call the Director of Development at 816.268.6537.

  • Endowment Fund

    While the Annual Fund meets the school’s immediate needs, the Endowment Fund ensures that St. Paul’s has a permanent source of operating revenue. The Endowment includes several funds including the Tuition Assistance Fund, Building Maintenance Fund, and Unrestricted Fund. A percentage of the Endowment Fund is used each year to meet the designated needs of the school’s mission.

Gates Faculty Enrichment Endowment, the David & Krista Peterson Technology Endowment and the Ward Maintenance Fund.
