What is the Franciscan Fund?
The Franciscan Fund is our annual fundraising campaign that makes a difference every day for every student seeking a Padua education. It also helps us strengthen and sustain Padua’s reputation as the premier destination for Catholic co-education in Northeast Ohio.
The Franciscan Fund supports all aspects of a Padua education including:
• Academics – provides a challenging college-preparatory curriculum
• Athletics – teaches discipline, focus and teamwork
• Fine Arts – gives students a way to express themselves creatively
• Campus Ministry – introduces social justice and caring for others
• MedTrack® – prepares students for careers in healthcare or science fields
• MyTrack – provides special focus on Business, Computer Science, Engineering, Studio Art and Law
• Learning Support Services – provides students with personalized help in the classroom
• Tuition Assistance – makes a Padua education affordable for all
• Covers the Gap – makes up the difference between the actual annual cost of one student’s education – $14,950 – and billed
tuition – $12,750
We invite you to be a part of the success of our students by making a gift to the Franciscan Fund. You may go online to paduafranciscan.com or contact Arlene Gagliardo, Director of the Franciscan Fund & Major Gifts, at 440-845-8224 or agagliardo@ paduafranciscan.com. The 2020-2021 fiscal year ends June 30, 2021. All donors will be recognized in our annual fall publication, Celebrating Our Donors.
Reception with the President
Each year we celebrate our leadership level benefactors with a June gathering, typically
at the Franciscan Friary’s courtyard garden. Unfortunately, due to “a COVID summer,” this reception was cancelled. Please know that we appreciate the generosity of our donors and look forward to being together again soon.
