The Next Century Endowment Campaign

As of September 2026, The Next Century Endowment Campaign has entered its community phase. With the strong foundation established during the leadership phase, we invite the entire Mount community to join us in completing the project. Less than $100,000 remains to reach our $5 million goal. Your support will bring this campaign across the finish line and firmly establish our endowment seed. And we will continue to grow the endowment as we move forward.

During the community phase, we will send out a direct mail
request for support and/or prospective donors

Why An Endowment?

A strong endowment provides lasting financial strength for Mount Saint Mary Academy. Endowment gifts are invested permanently, with a portion of the earnings used each year to support scholarships, facilities, and other operating needs. Your gift today will help ensure a strong tomorrow.

The endowment serves various key purposes:

Provides lasting support for academic priorities.
Sustains the Academy's finances for future generations.
Ensures the availability of scholarships.
Creates meaningful legacies.
