The Mount Vernon Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the operational costs for the School. This year, the MV Fund needs your support more than ever. If you are able, please consider giving or pledging early.
The 2020-21 MV Fund Priorities:
- Empowering our teachers with the training and resources to be agile and impactful in a dynamic learning environment.
- Strategically investing in resources that can protect and promote the health and wellbeing of our community- teachers, staff, students, and families.
- Supporting our Athletic teams and Arts programs as they reimagine their unique school experience and adhere to stringent safety protocols.
If it makes sense for your family, please join the 1972 Society, named for Mount Vernon’s founding year, by donating/pledging $1,972. Please maximize your giving impact by exploring matching-gift opportunities through your employer.
