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:
Instructional Support
A rigorous curriculum and excellent teachers are the cornerstones of the outstanding education that Mount de Sales’ offers. Great teachers and challenging classes require print and digital resources; training in pedagogy; tools to support students with learning differences and to challenge exceptional students; and opportunities to connect classroom lessons to real-life experiences.
Student Activities
Student activities provide important opportunities for students to develop character, critical thinking, problem-solving, team building, and leadership skills. Interest clubs, ministry activities, Mock Trial, theatre, and literary competitions provide a channel for reinforcing the lessons learned in the classroom, offering students the opportunity to apply academic skills in a real-world context.
Athletic Program
More than 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 student-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.
Tuition Assistance
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.
