The MVFund: Mount Vernon's Annual Giving Campaign
Mount Vernon’s Annual Fund - the MVFund - is our primary fundraising initiative, supporting our annual operating budget.
Matching Gifts
Matching Gifts are an easy way to double or, in some cases, triple your gift to the School. Search here to see if your company offers a matching gifts program.
Gifts to the MVFund are tax-deductible and close the gap between the necessities funded by tuition and the extra resources that are essential to the Mount Vernon experience. These funds reflect an investment that pays dividends by enriching the intellectual, social, and personal development of every student.
When you reinvest in the School - we attract and retain the highest caliber of teachers with the best academic resources. We are then able to make the difference between your child going to a great school and having an extraordinary experience.
To make a gift, initial pledge, or payment to an existing pledge, please visit Mount Vernon's online giving portal. To make a pledge commitment, please complete this pledge form.
To mail your gift to the School, please send it to:
Community Development Office
Mount Vernon School
510 Mount Vernon Highway NE
Atlanta, GA 30328
