Create a World of Possibilities
2009-10 Annual Fund
"This school gave me a place to be myself, a place where I could stand out but also fit in. I will always be grateful to the people who made it possible for me to attend."
MCDS graduate, Class of 2009
As with every independent school, tuition covers only part of our total operating budget. MCDS depends on its entire community—parents, grandparents, trustees, friends, faculty, and staff—to bridge the gap between tuition and the total cost of educating our students.
Annual Fund donations make it possible for MCDS to:
- Offer world-class academic and fine arts programs
- Attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff
- Focus on character development and nurture tomorrow’s leaders
- Purchase books and essential classroom supplies
- Make an MCDS education accessible to as many as possible
- Maintain our beautiful facility and campus
Each gift makes a difference and is greatly appreciated!
Put MCDS at the top of your charitable giving. Here are four easy ways to create a world of possibilities for our students:
- Donate online.
- Send a check or credit card information.
- Maximize your contribution through your employer’s matching gift program.
- Gifts of appreciated securities can offer significant tax advantages and are simple to arrange. Call 608.850.6372.
