Parent Giving | The Mercy Annual Fund 2022-23
As with all private Catholic schools, Mercy is dependent on two primary sources of revenue to operate the school: tuition and fundraising. Tuition covers the basics of our Mercy education. The generosity of our parents, alumnae, grandparents and friends enhance our excellent academic, athletic, fine arts, and student life programs, update our facilities and allow us to continue to attract outstanding faculty and staff.
The Mercy Annual Fund is the cornerstone of philanthropy at Mercy providing critical support to the schools annual operating budget. A Mercy education costs about $3,000 more per student than tuition provides. We ask all families to make a tax-deductible commitment to the Mercy Annual Fund Parent Pledge Program.
