2008-2009 Annual Fund Recap
The 2008-2009 fiscal year has come to a close, and it is with heartfelt gratitude that we acknowledge our benefactors, alumni, students, faculty, staff, families, friends, Dominican communities and parishes, and long time DSPT supporters who have made contributions through the 2008 Annual Fund, Sunday in Spain Auction, Golf Tournament, and the Alemany Dinner. As of June 30, 2009, through the fundraising efforts this year and the support from the Western Dominican Province, the school brought in a total of $617,121.76 in unrestricted and restricted gifts.
The past academic year has been exciting and your support has helped bring many blessings to us and to the DSPT community as a whole. 13 lay students graduated this May, moving on to do good work in the world. Two Dominicans were ordained priests and will serve the Church. The Human Rights Symposium initiated a critical dialogue that is addressing Human Rights Concerns in our communities and around the world. We are happy to report that we have increased our donor base and have made significant technological and branding improvements that have strengthened the school’s marketing and outreach efforts. Your support has made it possible for us to sustain low tuition rates, provide outstanding academic programs, offer scholarships, and provide tuition assistance for students in financial need.
Thank you isn’t enough to recognize all that you have done for us. Look to our growth and progress and know that we are steadfast in our efforts to put your generous gifts to work and are grateful for your prayers. The collaborative efforts of the entire DSPT community will be reflected in our 2008-2009 Annual Report.
