Saint Ann School Foundation

OUR HISTORY

In 1982, a small group of dedicated Saint Ann Parishioners decided to create a Foundation, independent of the Diocese of Venice. This 501c(3) Corporation is organized exclusively for the aid and support of Saint Ann School, a PRE-K - 8th grade school located in Naples, Florida. We provide full and partial scholarships for students qualifying for financial assistance at Saint Ann School.

OUR SCHOOL
Home of the Dolphins

In 1956, Pastor Timothy Geary opened Saint Ann School to provide a Catholic education for the 100 families of the parish. While construction of the school’s initial buildings progressed, the Sisters of St. Joseph held classes in what today is known as Rooney Hall, under the giant banyan tree. Today we enjoy a state-of-the-art campus in beautiful downtown Naples. Saint Ann School, home of the dolphins, currently has 400 souls in Pre-K to 8th Grade and provides excellence in education of spirit, mind and body.

As Saint Ann School proudly celebrates decades of excellence in Catholic education, we reflect with deep gratitude on the generations of families, faculty, and friends who have shaped our legacy. For generations, our commitment to providing a faith-filled, academically rigorous education in Naples has remained unwavering.

This year, we invite you to be part of that legacy in two special ways. For The Win, our gala on February 20, is an evening of celebration in support of our students and school community. And throughout the year, we hope you'll consider our Annual Fund Campaign, Be The Blessing, because every gift, every child, every blessing makes a difference.

We are especially thankful for the incredible generosity of our benefactors. Your steadfast support has been instrumental in our growth, helping the Foundation establish a strong teacher incentive program, deepen our faith formation, enhance our campus, and enrich the broader community. For those wishing to leave a lasting legacy, we also welcome conversations about planned giving, a meaningful way to ensure Saint Ann School continues to flourish for generations to come.

As we look ahead, striving for continued excellence, we ask for your prayers for our students and school community, just as we keep you in ours. With faith and shared purpose, there is no limit to what we can accomplish together.

Thank you for being an essential part of our mission.
