Building on a 30+ year history, the Bright Futures Fund provides a Catholic education for children at the three legacy schools in Kansas City's urban core: Our Lady of Hope, Holy Cross and Our Lady's Montessori.
The Bright Futures Fund relies on philanthropic donations to underwrite operating costs and subsidize tuition for our students attending these legacy schools. One hundred percent of donations go directly to education. All administrative costs are underwritten by the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph.
