Annual Fund gifts of all sizes make up the difference between tuition and the real cost of education. Donations to the annual fund sustain Mount de Sales as a premier academic institution by enhancing our technology, programs, and campus facilities used by every student, every day.
All Mount de Sales families and alumni are asked to support the Spirit of Mercy Annual Fund at a level that is right for them and will receive an initial request each fall. Annual Fund gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law. The Spirit of Mercy Annual Fund starts on July 1 each year, and gifts may be made by June 30 of the following year.
Donors may make an unrestricted gift, which we will use to meet our greatest need, or direct your donation to a favorite project:
The heart and soul of a Mount de Sales education, our Campus Ministry program develops faithful and compassionate servant leaders. Your gift to the Campus Ministry program provides for grade-level community service retreats and activities, the Mercy in Action program where students volunteer over 15,000 hours per year, school-wide Masses, and other celebrations of faith.
Over 80% of MDS students participate in a competitive sport, and our teams are growing in talent and success. Our athletic program is committed to excellence and to developing students-athletes with strong character, discipline, work ethic, and physical fitness. Your gift to the Athletic Program provides for training, uniforms, travel to competitions, equipment, and other needs.
Our students are more creative, engaged, and successful when iPad applications supplement traditional teaching. Staying current with technology is necessary to improve student achievement and preparation for our digital world..
In keeping with our founding mission, Mount de Sales serves students of all backgrounds. Each year more than 200 MDS families qualify for and need tuition assistance. Your support makes it possible for a diverse group of bright and talented students to have a Mount de Sales education.
Athletics teaches discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. Our 20-year old athletic complex needs enhancements that will benefit our student athletes today and throughout the next 20 years. These improvements include resurfacing the track and D-zone, creating an irrigation pond to preserve our fields, new maintenance equipment and bus to transport athletes to competitions, and a new soccer field fence. The needs total $400,000. To help, designate your annual fund gift to the 20/20 Fund.
