The MPH Annual Fund
Give Today!
The MPH Annual Fund is the school’s first priority for donor support. The annual fund provides yearly support to the MPH operating budget. Gifts to the annual fund help fund tuition assistance, faculty compensation, and provides funds for academic, athletic and arts programming.
Gifts to the annual fund can be unrestricted, to be used where needed most, or restricted to tuition assistance, faculty compensation, academics, the arts or athletics.
As an independent school, MPH does not receive funding from outside sources. Funding the school’s operations (including everything from faculty/staff salaries to facility maintenance and tuition assistance) comes from three main sources: tuition revenue, the school’s endowment and the MPH Annual Fund.
Importantly, following the independent school model, the full tuition rate does not cover the cost of educating a student at MPH. This is to ensure an independent school education is available to as many people in our community as possible.
Exceptional education is expensive, and donors make it possible. We hope every MPH family, alum, and faculty/staff member will consider a gift, each year, to the MPH annual fund. Each year we stive for 100% participation from our community. This community effort, with everyone participating at the level they can, makes MPH possible.
