The $28,500,000 Cornerstone Campaign is designed to finance the acquisition and construction of a new campus in Waukegan, Illinois, along with funding operational needs through 2019–2020. To accelerate occupancy, the School's Board of Trustees approved a strategy that separated the Cornerstone Campaign into phases. The first phase included property acquisition and renovation/build-out of approximately 57,000 square feet. The first phase was completed on February 13, 2018 when the School held its first day of classes in the new campus. The School spent approximately $17,900,000 on the first phase of the new campus, including land, renovation costs, and the costs of necessary furniture, fixtures and equipment. The strategy for the second phase of the Campaign contemplates a variety of improvements, including space for a gymnasium and fitness center, prayer space, and a galleria. In addition, the second phase contemplates land acquisition of adjacent properties for future uses, such as athletic fields and outdoor environmental science labs. Plans for the second phase will require more funds than initially anticipated when the Cornerstone Campaign was developed. Pledges outstanding at June 30, 2018 will be used to fund annual operating deficits as necessary. Additional proceeds from outstanding pledges will be used to kick-start the second phase of the Cornerstone Campaign. * Partial funding for our new campus was raised through participation in the New Markets Tax Credits (NMTC) program. This program created temporary notes receivable and payable, both of which will be eliminated after the seven year tax credit period that is customary under the program. The cash held in the building reserve will be used for the completion of the new campus and for future building needs.

BUILDING ON THE CORNERSTONE Grit to Greatness

Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program Contributions The new Illinois Tax Credit Scholarship Program allows individuals and corporations to donate to Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs) and receive a credit on their Illinois state taxes in return amounting to 75% of the value of the donation. An SGO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, approved by the IL Department of Revenue, whose primary aim is to give scholarships to qualifying students. The following individuals made contributions to an SGO between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018, and directed the funds to student scholarships at Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep.
