Annual Fund

Every school year, the Sisters of the Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament carry on a 138-year-old legacy as they open the doors of Incarnate Word Academy to new and returning students. It is such an exciting time for the Sisters, parents and students, as the community is witness to the eagerness and enthusiasm of new beginnings.

The mission of Incarnate Word Academy provides young women with a Catholic college preparatory education, helping them grow in their relationship with Jesus, the Incarnate Word, and live according to His values. We strive to offer an excellent and affordable educational experience that is competitive amongst other college preparatory schools. 

Keeping tuition affordable while maintaining excellent academic standards is a challenge we face annually. The actual cost of an IWA education is greater than the price of tuition by 28%. Fundraising campaigns and events are held to make up for this budget shortfall.

The Spirit of the Word Annual Fund supports and fulfills the gap in our budget. It is a fundraising program that provides an opportunity for parents, alumnae, faculty, staff, board members and friends to secure the quality of an IWA education and assures a solid financial future for the Academy.

A gift to the Spirit of the Word Annual Fund is the most important gift we ask of our IWA family.

All gifts are needed and welcomed. An important benefit of supporting the Spirit of the Word Annual Fund is that the entire school, including every student, will benefit from your generosity.
