**A generous benefactor is offering to match up to $15,000 of funds raised during the current year. Please prayerfully consider helping us meet this goal.

Established in December 2016 in honor of Marian Fuchs, a beloved teacher from Saint John Vianney School in Spokane Valley, WA.

Marian looked forward to teaching with up-to-date textbooks. The endowment bearing her name is designed to:

• Fund replacement of textbook series
• Help purchase science lab equipment and hands-on-learning tools for classrooms
• Support other needs of the school, including tuition assistance.

Since establishment of the fund in 2016 the fund has grown to approximately $297,000 through a combination of generation donations and market performance. During the 2021 distribution cycle the fund generated $6000 which provided new textbooks for use in the third grade classroom.

The long term goal is raise $2.5 million dollars which will eventually provide approximately $100,000 a year in annual support to the school.
