Annual Fund - This is a yearly drive beginning in early fall and lasting until spring. This drive is always geared toward 100% participation from school families since outside contributors look at this before awarding grants. A monetary goal is set each year by the board of directors, and this money goes toward the operating expenses of the school. This could be anything from playground equipment to copiers to teacher salaries, but is not associated with capital improvements to the facility. This fund helps keep tuition down by allowing a tax-deductible alternative. Capital Campaigns - Oakbrook has utilized capital campaigns twice before, first for the main campus building and second for the lower school building and gymnasium. A large percentage of contributions have been raised from the outside community for these campaigns, as well as grants, but the school family is relied upon for their involvement, planning, and monetary contributions. A second campaign was initiated in 2003-04 to fund the addition to the current Lower School and the new High School. Scholarship
- This fund has been instrumental in assisting many families
with tuition. Although full scholarships are not awarded, the
financial aid has enabled numerous families to be part of our
school. In addition to several yearly "fund-raisers," such as Joe Corbi's Pizza, Spring Flower sale, etc., there are numerous ways to help raise funds for Oakbrook.
