Mary McDowell Friends School is only able to sustain our academically challenging program and welcoming community due to the generosity of community members who donate to the Mary McDowell Friends School Fund. Donations made to the MMFS Fund are unrestricted which means it allows gifts to be used where they are needed the most, and are allocated responsibly under the rigorous stewardship of our trustees and staff. Support of the Fund enables us to recruit and retain the best faculty, provide professional development to keep our staff and faculty on the cutting edge, and sustain the growth of the school in terms of both its program offerings and its facilities.
We are tremendously grateful to our community — made up of parents, grandparents, alumni families, faculty, and friends — for supporting the MMFS Fund every year. The MMFS Fund is the foundation of support for the school and it is donors’ generosity to the Fund that has enabled our growth.
We strive for 100% participation in the Fund. We hope that you will give at a level that is comfortable and meaningful for you.
