A Foundation For Today, and Generations to Come
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 further our ability to provide state-of-the-art learning, blended with time-honored traditions, within a developmentally safe and supportive environment. This mission is made possible only through the kindness and generosity of our good friends and benefactors who support us in our work through their prayers and donations.
Your donations to Mount St. Mary can support our:
Annual Fund
This fund helps us continue to enhance the programs and initiatives offered to current and future Mounties, as well as make necessary enhancements to our facility and grounds.
Alumnae Scholarship Fund
This scholarship fund is awarded each year to the relative of an MSM Alumna. The MSM Alumnae Board oversees the scholarship fund and selects the recipient each year. MSM Alumnae are encouraged to support this scholarship as we strive to ensure everyone can be a Mountie.
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 our school for financial reasons, versus being able to remain and able to graduate as a Mountie. Your gift to the Guardian Angel Fund will make a true difference!
The Mountie Fund
We believe that every young woman deserves the opportunity to become a Mountie. This fund ensures that a high-quality, Catholic education is accessible to all by helping to bridge the financial gap for incoming Freshman and/or Transfer students, ensuring that more students have the opportunity to say “Yes!” to MSM.
Mount St. Mary Academy sincerely appreciates the generous donations received from our dedicated community partners, Alumnae, and friends. We are so grateful for your continued support of our school and students!
Every gift made to Mount St. Mary Academy is met with sincere gratitude from our students, faculty, staff, and families.

Mount St. Mary Academy Legacy Giving Program
The Institutional Advancement Office at Mount St. Mary Academy is dedicated to raising the funds necessary for the enhancement and support of the programs and initiatives offered to its current and future students. Our fundraising efforts will further our ability to provide state-of-the-art learning, blended with time-honored traditions, within a developmentally safe and supportive environment.
The MSM Legacy Giving Program has the unique opportunity to support MSM and its mission while providing financial and tax benefits to our donors. Bequests are the most common form of legacy gift because they’re easy to understand and offer the most flexibility, as they are revocable, meaning they can be modified at any time. All individuals who participate in the Legacy Giving Program will be added to the 1927 Legacy Circle Society to be thanked for their generous support of Mount St. Mary Academy.
