The “Campaign for The 400” Annual Fund is the cornerstone of the giving programs at Benedictine. It is the largest unrestricted source of income to the school. Donations collected from the Campaign for The 400 help provide assistance with the general operating budget. This helps to defray tuition costs and provide for the day-to-day needs of Benedictine.
 
Benedictine Military School is steeped in rich tradition that has touched the Coastal Empire for over one hundred years. In order to continue that tradition, Benedictine must raise money to cover the operating expenses of the school. Tuition only makes up 79% of the cost to educate a young man at Benedictine. Most of the other 21% comes from the generous support of our alumni, parents, Board members, grandparents, past parents, and friends. 
 
Your tax deductible gift to The Campaign for The 400 is makes a difference at Benedictine. Your gift supports student financial aid, school technology, classroom enhancements, and faculty professional development. Your gift is important because it provides you with a vested interest in the lives of our Cadets.

Friends who support the Campaign for The 400 at its highest level will be recognized as members of The 400 Club. Members of The 400 Club have made a commitment of $1,000 or more during the current school year.
