FAQ

St. Vincent de Paul Academy is a 501c3 not-for-profit, K - 12 educational institution. 

Since 1991 it has taken a classical approach to developing the minds, bodies, and souls of its students, offering a traditional education in Midtown Kansas City, Missouri for students throughout the greater metro area.

The St. Vincent de Paul Academy Annual Auction is a recurring spring fundraiser benefiting the operational costs of the facility. Held in a local venue, the auction is an evening of fun comprised of a silent and live auction, with a catered dinner and raffle component. Various local businesses support the auction by the donation of items, services or gift cards to be sold at the event. They may also choose to advertise on a large or small scale. Typically, 200 members of the community and parish are in attendance. School parents and parishioners staff the event in multiple volunteer capacities.

With the growing operational costs of running a private school and the intention of keeping tuition affordable, St. Vincent's Academy hosted its first auction thirty years ago. This evening of camaraderie, school spirit, and united work of dedicated parents quickly became a vital component of fundraising for St. Vincent's, as well as an excellent opportunity to celebrate the school, of which its families have become so proud. Of our $1,300,000 operating budget, we fundraise over $300,000 annually to keep tuition rates lowest in the metropolitan area, making private education accessible for more families.
