Endowed Funds

Established over recent and past years, the following funds support the school’s current operations, special programs, scholarship awards, and financial aid.  In every case, these funds represent the vision, foresight, and generosity of SMA graduates and families who wished to create a separate invested fund toward a restricted or non-restricted purpose.  By doing so, these donors have provided for future generations of SMA students and help ensure the preservation of the institution’s 100-year-old tradition of quality education.

Annual Giving

The Annual Fund puts money right in the General Operating Fund.  This bridges the gap between tuition and actual costs to supply our children with the quality education they so deserve.  By donating, you ensure each child not only receives books and supplies to learn, you also enable SMA to provide salaries and professional development for our teaching staff to do what they do best.

You can make the difference and enable Saint Mary's Academy to continue the strong traditions it has developed over the past 100 years.  With a tuition difference of about $1500 per student, each and every contribution large and small makes a direct impact in reaching our goal.

Reunion Giving

Reunion 2009 was a great time had by all!  We encourage each graduating class to gather together during the summer months and celebrate SMA style.  From the class of 1935 to the class of 2009, many attended, celebrated and donated back to SMA.
