We are proud of the strong commitment of the Saint Mark’s community to the Annual Fund. For nearly a decade, 100% of families, faculty and staff, and the Board of Trustees have participated in the Annual Fund. We are grateful for the many grandparents, relatives, alumni, and friends who also contribute.
Annual Fund
The Saint Mark’s Annual Fund is the school’s most important fundraising initiative each year. It is a critical revenue stream in our operating budget and ensures we can sustain our programs and meet emerging needs. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of educating each student. We rely on philanthropic support to meet our annual expenses. Like tuition, gifts to the Annual Fund are used during the current school year. Unlike tuition, donations are tax deductible.
The impact of the Annual Fund is evident across campus. It helps fund annual operating expenses, including: faculty and staff salaries, benefits, and professional development, campus maintenance and improvements, tuition assistance, and student support services.
