The Impact of the Annual Fund

The holistic education of St. Mark’s students is powerful, but the School doesn’t do it alone! The School relies on the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends to support the Annual Fund, which helps St. Mark’s provide its students and faculty with the important resources needed to offer a best-in-class education. The Annual Fund supplements tuition and other streams of revenue to ensure small classes, dedicated faculty, a diverse student body, financial aid, and so much more.

Parent Giving & Participation

All parents are invited to make a gift to the Annual Fund at a level that is meaningful to them. There are numerous opportunities to show your support throughout the year in response to the School’s outreach through parent phonathons, letters, emails, and our annual Giving Day. High participation by parents is a vote of confidence that encourages alumni and others to also support the School and current students.

Founder's Associates

The Founder’s Associates program is the cornerstone of annual giving to St. Mark’s, recognizing donors who contribute $1,865 or more during a fiscal year (as an individual gift or in combination with a matching gift received within the same fiscal year). The mission of the program is to build a stronger culture of leadership annual giving to the School, providing a more reliable and predictable source of revenue. Founder’s Associate donors are among the School’s most loyal and generous supporters.
