Annual Star Fund

Dear Friend of Kearney Catholic,

Thank you for your generous support of the previous 2023–24 Annual Star Fund. Because of donors like you, we were able to raise more than $141,000 last year to support Kearney Catholic’s mission. As we approach the end of this year’s campaign on June 30, we’re reaching out to past donors who haven’t yet had a chance to give. If by chance, you're receiving this in error, we apologize and are grateful for your support. So far, we’ve raised $109,470 toward our $125,000 goal—and we’d be so grateful for your help in closing the gap.

This year, $104,000 from the fund is committed directly to the school’s 25-26 operating budget to support teacher salaries. The remainder helps fund Star Partner projects like stocking the teacher's lounge and Teacher Appreciation Week, as well as funds enhancements around the school, like Bible verses in the stairwells and Christ-centered inspiration in the weight room—reminders of our Catholic identity woven into daily life.

We know many supporters have already given generously to Stars Stadium and other exciting projects. But unlike capital campaigns, the Annual Star Fund keeps Kearney Catholic running strong—supporting daily operations and helping keep tuition affordable for families.

If you’d like to give, simply follow this link to donate online or drop a check off at the KCHS Foundation office.

Any amount makes a difference—and your gift will help us finish strong.

Thank you for your generous support during Give Where You Live!

A huge THANK YOU to the KCHS community for your support of Kearney Catholic during our Give Where You Live Drive! You raised over $14,700 to support the students at Kearney Catholic and the mission of Kearney Catholic.

This event marked the kick-off of the Annual Star Fund that is being initiated to help support Kearney Catholic in all aspects as we implement the newly created Strategic Plan. This 3-5 year plan created goals and objectives to guide and improve eight specific domains of the school (Academics, Advancement, Catholic Identity, Enrollment/Marketing, Facilities, Finance, Governance and Student Life). The Annual Star Fund will provide for day-to-day budgetary expenditures, from paying operating costs to maintaining and upgrading our building. It will allow members of our student body to secure much needed tuition assistance and offset the cost of tuition for all students and their families. In addition, it will help provide our talented teachers with competitive salaries and professional development, attracting and retaining the best teaching professionals. Moreover, it supports all school programs and activities providing our students with life lessons though a variety of academic and extracurricular activities. In essence, The Annual Star Fund will strengthen every aspect of our school.
