Support Mount St. Mary Academy

The Development Department of Mount St. Mary Academy is dedicated to raising the funds necessary for the provision and support of the programs available to its students. Funding through these efforts will continue Mount St. Mary Academy’s ability to provide state-of-the-art learning blended with time-honored traditions within a developmentally safe and supportive environment. This mission is only made possible through the kindness and generosity of our good friends and benefactors who support us in our work through their prayers and donations.

All of us at Mount St. Mary Academy sincerely appreciate the generous donations received from our friends and would like to express our heartfelt gratitude, particularly to these community and corporate supporters:
  • John R. Oishei Foundation
  • Bill and Jean Irr Family Foundation
  • Bruce T. Williams Family Foundation
  • Microsoft

Your support may be made through:

  • Gifts of cash, stock and securities
  • Bequests

  • Other Opportunities

List of 8 items.

  • Alumnae Scholarship Fund

    The Mount St. Mary Academy Alumnae Scholarship Fund is a means of financial assistance awarded each year to the relative of an alumna. The scholarship is governed by the MSM Alumnae Board, and receives contributions year round from our alumnae.

  • Emergency Food Fund

    Our Emergency Food Fund is a collection of funds dedicated to providing support for struggling families by covering the cost of their student's lunch fees during the school year. 

  • Guardian Angel Fund

    This fund provides tuition assistance to our students whose families experience unexpected difficulties such as the death of a parent, job loss, etc.

    A Guardian Angel grant is often the difference between a student having to withdraw from Mount St. Mary for financial reasons or being able to remain and graduate a Mountie. Your gift to the Guardian Angel Fund will make a true difference to a Mount St. Mary student.
