Annual Fund

St. Pius X conducts an annual organized fundraising effort called the Annual Fund to ensure that the School achieves a balanced operating budget. The Annual Fund is the highest fundraising priority of St. Pius X and is comprised of hundreds of tax-deductible gifts received from the Board of Trustees, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, grandparents, alumni parents, corporations, foundations, matching gifts, and friends of St. Pius X.

"Sartan Strong!" is more than just a theme for the 2024-25 Annual Fund; it is a rallying cry that embodies the spirit, resilience, and unity of the St. Pius X School community. The Sartan mascot is not merely a symbol of our school; it represents the core values and traditions that define us. This theme encapsulates the strength and determination that our students, faculty, alumni, and families exhibit every day, and the collective power we will use to ensure that St. Pius X serves our current students and thrives as an enduring educational institution rooted in Catholic values.

Please help us realize our 2024-25 priorities, which will be made possible through your generosity:

Robotics Center/Enhanced STEM Program
New Main Gym Air Conditioner
Dance Studio Upgrades
iPads for Middle School Students
Improved Middle School Courtyard
More Financial Aid
Daycare Program for SPX Staff
Alumni Plaza

Who gives to the Annual Fund?

I’m a current parent, so I already pay tuition. Why should I give?

Tuition covers 90% of our operating budget. It is essential that we make up the remaining 10% through the generosity of our school community and investment income to ensure a vibrant student experience. The Annual Fund helps close the gap between tuition dollars and the full cost of educating each student, which is now over $14,500.

Your Annual Fund support allows SPX to:

Enrich the academic experience through internships, entrepreneurship programs, and STEM to become the school of innovation in New Mexico.
Provide tuition assistance so that a Catholic education is attainable for our families.
Enhance extracurricular programs such as athletics, fine arts, campus ministries, ACADEC, and student activities.
Maintain, update, and repurpose campus buildings and outdoor spaces that the school now owns.

If I have a limited budget to give to SPX, do you prefer I support the Annual Fund, the Booster Club, or other fundraising requests?

We understand that parent participation in various fundraisers allow SPX to attract, support and retain our students and faculty members. That said, St. Pius X’s highest fundraising priority is the Annual Fund. Your participation in the Annual Fund helps the school and your favored program. We ask all families to demonstrate their shared confidence in St. Pius X by making a gift to the Annual Fund. Our goal is 100% participation from our families.
