The Mercy Fund

Mercy AnnualFund THE

The Mercy Annual Fund is the cornerstone of philanthropy at Mercy.

The Mercy Annual Fund helps us to bridge the gap between the cost of tuition and the true cost to educate each young woman. Your gift supports every critical area of the school, and we are excited to begin exploring new programs as well as needed facility updates.

Currently we are working on a number of projects that the Mercy Annual Fund will help to support financially. We have begun a new academic initiative developing a STEM program for our young women that ties together the current tremendous math and science offerings, while building new courses and opportunities that will prepare students for college and workplace expectations.

We are also looking to update the interior of our school buildings, including painting the interior wing, and a potential remodel of one of our student bathrooms. Additionally, we are hopeful to raise funds to purchase new laptops so that our Multimedia Lab room can be reimagined and outfitted to meet the needs of today’s learners and our growing school.

We are in exciting times at Mercy! We thank you for your support, and invite you to continue to be part of our mission to educate young women. Your support truly makes a difference in the lives of our students and the programs that we are able to offer. Quite simply, without your support these programs would not be possible to offer to our students. On behalf of our students, thank you for the tremendous impact you make in their lives.
