Impact & Tuition Assistance
Making Catholic Education Accessible
The Foundation’s primary focus is raising funds to provide tuition assistance for qualifying families.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, the QCES Foundation has distributed over $1.4 million in tuition assistance to thousands of students since the program began.
This support goes far beyond financial relief. Tuition assistance:
- Helps families choose Catholic education with confidence
- Sustains enrollment across all schools
- Strengthens long-term school stability
- Reduces financial strain on parishes and families
Every Catholic elementary school student benefits from the stability and support this program provides.
Why the Foundation Matters
Strengthening the Entire System
By supporting families and students, the QCES Foundation plays a vital role in the long-term health of Catholic education in Quincy.
The Foundation’s work helps ensure:
- Schools remain accessible to families from diverse financial backgrounds
- Catholic values continue to shape future generations
- Quincy’s Catholic schools remain strong, vibrant, and mission-driven
This shared investment strengthens not just individual students, but the entire Catholic school community.
QCES Foundation
The Quincy Catholic Elementary Schools (QCES) Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing tuition assistance and strengthening Catholic education across all four Quincy Catholic elementary schools. Established in 2009, the Foundation operates independently while working closely with Quincy Catholic Schools to support families and students.
The Foundation is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors representing our parish communities, united by a shared commitment to sustaining accessible, faith-centered Catholic education in Quincy.
