Celebrating 90 Years of the Annual Fund in 2024!

For 183 years, Saint Mary’s School has been a leader in the education of young women. Now, more than ever, we need your participation in the Annual Fund to ensure Saint Mary’s Forever.

Your gift today will count in our Saint Mary’s Forever Campaign and supports the highest areas of need, including financial aid and additional scholarships, exceptional academic programs, improvements in our technology, and the maintenance of our historic campus buildings.

The Saint Mary’s Annual Fund goal for 2024-25 is $1.725 million. Raising unrestricted funds each year is imperative in helping us bridge the gap between endowment income, tuition, and other sources of revenue, and the actual cost of our school's total operating expenses.

In the 1840s, the Rev. Aldert Smedes said that educated girls make a difference. It’s as true today as it was then, and we all have an obligation to ensure that this school remains the vibrant place it has been for the future. The Annual Fund is an opportunity to give back to those who made the education of our daughters possible, and I am happy to do so.

Together, we can ensure our mission for generations of young women to come.

Please consider making a three-year commitment today promising an annual gift each year of the public phase of the Forever Campaign, through 2027. Doing so reduces administrative and mailing costs and allows us to plan for future academic years.
