OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE:

WARRIOR PAVILION- MULTI-PURPOSE/PE and ATHLETIC COMPLEX

 The Warrior Pavilion is a welcoming base for outdoor activities. It is anchored on the side of the gym, past the Warrior Walk, with easy access to the track and backfield. Students are able to play volleyball, basketball, pickleball, hockey, tennis, tchoukball, handball, 4 square, wall ball, drills, and invasion games. The Warrior Pavilion benefits not only students sports and athletics, but is also a space for PE and recess. It has basketball goals, netting, fans, lighting, and storage. In addition, this multipurpose, large social space is used for events such as Fatima Fest, Symposium and Field Day. This permanent structure ensures activities and events on campus will go on, rain or shine.

ENDOWMENT

 The OLF Foundation Endowment raises funds for the long-term stability of the school. Because this permanent endowment is an invested pool of money that provides a reliable source of income in perpetuity, Fatima School can count on an annual distribution. This well-managed endowment ensures donors that the school is fiscally responsible and financially viable. Also, it enhances Fatima’s prestige and credibility. Our Endowment currently has over 3.4 million dollars. Every dollar earned by the Endowment is one less dollar that needs to be raised in an annual fundraiser. Last year, the interest earned was $89,000. This amount was given to the school. The goal is $30,000.
