The true cost of a St. Mary's education is well above the amount of tuition; in fact, the Annual Fund covers 7% of the school's operating budget every year. Through the Annual Fund, every girl is equipped with resources and opportunities to enable her to reach her individual potential. The 2017-2018 Annual Fund raised $984,650.
Our entire community — parents, alumnae, grandparents and friends of the school — understands the vital importance this funding plays in teaching our girls to become lifelong learners. Since 2010, parent, alumnae, and faculty giving has eclipsed national benchmark participation percentages which have averaged:
PARENT PARTICIPATION: 90%
ALUMNAE PARTICIPATION: 50%
FACULTY: 99.9%
