    2019 Community Report Dear Friends of Fulcrum, This year, the Fulcrum Foundation experienced the unprecedented event of cancelling Celebration of Light, our signature fundraising gala. What occurred in the aftermath of the snowstorm was nothing short of heroic. In this moment of need, all of you became our heroes. Your commitment, concern, care, and generosity exemplified the beauty and depth of our Catholic community. Our programs were able to be funded at previous levels, positively impacting all 73 of our schools as well as many families and children. This happened because of you. We all need heroes in our lives. Heroes inspire us, motivate us, uplift us, and call us to become heroes ourselves. Thank you, our most loyal supporters, for responding to our needs with a roar and leading by example. You will read on the following pages about other heroes in our midst: students, teachers, and leaders. Here in the Archdiocese of Seattle, students continue to thrive, serve others, and graduate from Catholic high schools, on time, with a graduation rate of more than 99 percent. Teachers inspire us with their unwavering commitment, dedication to Catholic teachings, and consistency in academic excellence. Lastly, leaders steadfastly guide the faculty and staff to focus on educating students to become caring and compassionate heroes themselves. We thank you for being the heroes in our midst and inspiring us to do the same. Tony Audino Julie Coleman Chair of the Board Interim Executive Director 2 | Fulcrum Foundation 2019 Community Report | 3 Access to Opportunity It’s all in the mission statement: the Fulcrum Foundation leverages financial assistance to support and strengthen Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Seattle.

  • 2017 Community Report Dear Fulcrum Supporters
    2017 Community Report Dear Fulcrum Supporters, We are excited to share with you a powerful snapshot of Fulcrum’s growth and impact in the following pages of this year’s Community Report. And before we do, we want to draw your attention to a small but important shift in our wording from “Annual Report” to “Community Report”. Fulcrum is, after all, a community of people united by our passion for Catholic schools and the faith-filled values taught to our students—young women and men who will become leaders in our community. So we designed this report to highlight the successes that together we have made possible by increasing accessibility to an excellent Catholic education, revitalizing our schools and investing in transformational school leaders. In these pages, we celebrate our collective accomplishments and share our vision for what is yet to come. It is our vision that, in partnership with the Office for Catholic Schools, Fulcrum instills in children and families, Catholic schools, and throughout the broader community, the hope for a better world and the ability to make it happen—and building this future full of hope starts today! With gratitude, Tony Audino Anthony Holter Chair of the Board Executive Director 2 Fulcrum Foundation 2017 Community Report 3 For Students & Their Families Catholic schools provide life-changing opportunities for students and their families. Increasing access to these opportunities is at the very core of Fulcrum’s mission.
