Annual Fund Dinner: August 31, 2022

Thank you to all who supported the Annual Fund Dinner and Achievement Award recognition!

Bishop Chatard High School was pleased to host more than 650 people at this year’s Annual Fund Dinner, raising more than $883,000 to support tuition assistance and teacher compensation at BCHS.

This is our biggest fundraising event of the year and is often referred to as the favorite event of the year for our parents, alumni, and friends. The evening allows a glimpse into life as a Trojan and includes the recognition of our outstanding community members who have continually supported Bishop Chatard.

It also offers a wonderful opportunity to join together in celebration and in generosity for the good of all Bishop Chatard High School.


Annual Fund Donations

We invite you to join us in our commitment to our students and teachers with a gift to our 2022-23 Annual Fund.

Donations to the Annual Fund can be made directly to Bishop Chatard or through the Institute for Quality Education (IQE), a scholarship granting organization (SGO). When you give to BCHS through IQE, you also qualify for the Indiana 50% tax credit. All donations to the Annual Fund qualify for a charitable federal tax deduction.

When you make a gift to the Annual Fund, you provide the opportunity for all our students to learn and fully engage in an authentically Catholic environment. Focused on the growth of the whole person, Bishop Chatard prepares students for a life-long commitment to faith, learning, leadership, and service. In 2022-2023, your gifts will provide tuition assistance for 55% of our students.

Additionally, Bishop Chatard is able to attract and retain some of the most dynamic and impressive teachers from around the state. Our Catholic Educator Advancement Program (CEAP), developed to encourage and justly compensate our teachers, continues to grow, helping bridge the gap between public school and Catholic school compensation.
