Why No Government Funding

Independent and Rooted in the Catholic Tradition

Since its beginning, DSPT has relied on the generosity of its benefactors to preserve its autonomy and sustain its mission. Nearly one-quarter of our operating income comes from individual donors like you. Because of this generosity we remain independent in what we teach and rooted in the Catholic tradition. But we can’t do it without you.

Our principal sources of income are:

• tuition (62%);
• benefactor donations (24%);
• Western Dominican Province subsidy (14%).
