Why support
De La Salle Academy?
Your support of De La Salle Academy is an investment in the leaders of tomorrow. A De La Salle education not only benefits the individual student but their family and society as a whole. To maintain our commitment to a world-class education and a need-blind admissions policy (to ensure that no child, once accepted, is prevented from receiving a DLSA education due to financial constraints), the School depends on the generosity of our community.
Each fall, we launch the Annual Fund, an appeal for contributions that supplement the School’s yearly operating budget (including tuition, annual retreats, programmatic updates, technology upgrades, and so much more). Nearly ninety percent of the annual operating budget must be raised each year. We welcome your participation and invite gifts to general operating funds or directed towards specific initiatives. Gifts to the School directly benefit the current fiscal year.
De La Salle Academy is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational organization, and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
