Kelly Pride Fund
Kelly Pride Fund – Growing Forward Together
The Kelly Pride Fund is BK’s annual giving program designed to involve our entire community in the ministry of Catholic education at Bishop Kelly. By contributing to the Kelly Pride Fund each year, you and our community provide the financial support that helps strengthen all aspects of the school. Your support advances the excellence and accessibility of a BK education. The Kelly Pride Fund empowers the BK community to raise funds for all BK programs. From academics, activities, and athletics programs to tuition assistance and supporting the highest needs of our students, your gifts impact all students at BK. Your charitable support directly benefits every student, as these funds are an important component of our school operating budget helping close the gap between tuition and the actual cost to educate every student. Gifts to the Kelly Pride Fund are tax deductible, and qualify for the Idaho Education Tax Credit. Thank you and Go Knights!
The focus of the annual fund is to involve all members in our community – parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, aunts/uncles, neighbors, co-workers, friends, faculty/staff, and businesses – by inviting them to participate with their best gift to the Kelly Pride Fund Whether that is a new alumni giving their class year of $20.24, or a longtime supporter giving at the $2,000.00 level, every gift to Bishop Kelly makes a BIG difference – especially yours!
Bishop Kelly accepts gifts of cash, check, debit/credit card, gifts of stock/securities, donor advised funds (DAF), foundation grants, and qualified charitable distributions (QCD)/ required minimum distributions (RMD’s) to name a few. Contact Tommy Steiner tsteiner@bk.org to discuss other giving methods.

All gifts to the Kelly Pride Fund are recognized in the annual Roundtable Magazine publication. Additionally, gifts of $1,000 or more annually will be recognized as Knights of the Roundtable at the annual Mardi Gras Celebration at Bishop Kelly.

Matching Gifts
Matching Gifts occur when participating companies match (sometimes up to four times) the amount of dollars given to BK by their employees and spouses, or retirees. The company matches the gift only after the donor has sent his or her gift to BK along with the company’s matching gift form. These forms can be obtained from the personnel offices of most companies. Check with your personnel office to find out what kind of gifts they match.
