Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts, and we rely on its support to provide the rich academic and extracurricular offerings that define the Marin Catholic experience. Marin Catholic depends on the generosity of its community–current parents, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, faculty/staff, and friends–to provide unrestricted, tax-deductible dollars to the operating budget, impacting everything at MC. These charitable contributions help bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of a Marin Catholic education. Rather than charge the full cost of tuition to every family, Marin Catholic keeps tuition costs to a minimum.

Special Events & Grand Sponsors

Special events throughout the year raise funds for programs benefiting our students, increase awareness and engagement, and provide opportunities for our community to celebrate together. Grand Sponsors make a special underwriting gift that supports events throughout the year, above and beyond their Annual Fund donation.

Directed Gifts and Endowments

Directed gifts support specific programs and initiatives at MC, such as scholarships and other identified areas of need. Gifts to the endowment provide for the financial sustainability of MC now and into the future. Endowed funds provide a stable revenue stream to the school’s operating budget each year while keeping the principal intact.

Campaigns

Capital campaigns help MC enhance the 21st-century learning experience and student life. The Dino Ghilotti Motta Stadium Complex marked the completion of the 20-year, $32 million Vision Plan, updating our facilities. In February 2021, our first step in our new 20-year Internal Vision Plan was realized with the blessing and dedication of our new St. Anselm Hall. In the Summer of 2022, we created more space for our life science studies by updating three classrooms in our science wing. This is the first phase of a long-term goal to modernize and upgrade all of our science labs and classrooms. The upgrades include new plumbing and electrical, state-of-the-art furniture, laboratory equipment such as sinks and tables, lighting, and storage for necessary teaching tools. This will all be housed in a modern design that is inspiring to science education.

Planned Giving

Planned gifts provide MC with future support, while allowing donors to attend to the financial needs of their families. Bequests and gifts of retirement accounts or life insurance policies are straightforward ways to support MC with a planned gift. Society Fidei recognizes donors who have expressed their commitment to Marin Catholic through a planned gift. For more details about Planned Giving, visit marincatholic.plannedgiving.org.
