Capra Bank Commits $750,000 to Holy Family Catholic Schools

Capra Bank has announced a $750,000 commitment to Holy Family Catholic Schools, marking a significant investment in the education and future of students and families throughout the Dubuque community.

The contribution will support Holy Family Catholic Schools’ ongoing capital campaign to fund facilities and programming at its Central Campus including a new auditorium at Wahlert Catholic High School.  In recognition of Capra Bank’s commitment, the auditorium’s commons area will be named Capra Commons.

For Capra Bank, which is locally headquartered in Dubuque, the investment is especially meaningful. Many Capra Bank employees have children who currently attend Holy Family Catholic Schools, creating a personal connection between the bank, the school system and the families the project will serve.

“Dubuque is home for Capra Bank, and investing in the future of this community means investing in the young people who will one day lead it,” said Tut Fuller, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Capra Bank. “Many members of our Capra family have children walking these halls today, which makes this investment particularly meaningful to us. We’re proud to support a project that will benefit Dubuque families not just today, but for generations to come.”

The commitment comes as Holy Family advances its Platform for Excellence: Inspiring Spaces, a $30 million capital campaign focused on transforming its Central Campus. The initiative includes future-forward academic spaces, a new faith and fine arts auditorium, and competition-ready athletic facilities and training spaces.

“Holy Family has been humbled by the community’s generosity toward our ‘Inspiring Spaces’ campaign, and we’re excited to see these transformative facilities take shape,” said Bob Noel, Holy Family Executive Director of Advancement. “We are deeply grateful to Capra Bank for its community-minded investment in our schools and the generations of students who will learn, grow and discover their gifts here. Capra Commons in our new faith and fine arts auditorium will be a gathering place that reflects what makes this campaign so meaningful: a community coming together to build a bright future for our students.”

Following completion of the project, Capra Commons will recognize the bank’s long-term partnership with Holy Family and its commitment to education and the Dubuque community.

The $750,000 pledge represents one of Capra Bank’s most substantial community commitments and reflects the bank’s philosophy that its growth should create opportunities to reinvest in the communities it serves.

“We’ve been fortunate to experience tremendous growth since opening Capra Bank, but growth means more when you can use it to make a difference,” said Tyson Leyendecker, Capra Bank President. “Capra Commons will have our name on it, but this investment is really about the thousands of students and families who will benefit from these investments over the next decade and beyond.”
