Giving

Your Gift Matters.
Creating A Future for Young Women.

At Mercy, your giving creates endless opportunities for our students to reach their highest potential and pursue their dreams. Your support touches every facet of life at Mercy, fostering an environment where each girl can excel, be known, challenged, and transformed in our Catholic community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for every gift to Mercy High School. Your generosity will echo through generations, leaving an enduring impact on countless lives. Together, let's inspire a brighter future!

How to make an Impact:

Reasons to Give to Mercy

  1. Mercy depends on philanthropic contributions to fund a portion of the operating budget.
    Mercy does not receive financial support from the Archdiocese nor federal or state funding. Like other independent schools, our ability to deliver the high-quality college-preparatory programs that we are known for depends upon your charitable support. 
     
  2. Great Teachers Change Lives
    80% of the annual operating budget supports teacher salaries and benefits; the Mercy Annual Fund supports these costs.
     
  3. Every gift matters.
    Annually most gifts to Mercy are under $500; together they make a difference. Every gift benefits each student, teacher and staff member and all of the programs at Mercy
