2025 Participation Drive

We're kicking off our annual Participation Drive on November 1st, which will run through November 21st.  Our Participation Drive is the designated time each year when we ask every family, and every member of the faculty, administration, and Board of Trustees to participate and make a gift to The Marylhurst School Annual Fund. 

The Annual Fund helps bridge the financial gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Marylhurst education. It supports students, teachers, and numerous programs across the school. Your tax-deductible gift to the Annual Fund helps us teacher and staff professional development, upgrade technology, and prioritize campus enhancements.

Why Does Your Participation Matter?

We aim to achieve 100% participation from our Marylhurst School families, teachers, staff, and Board of Trustees. Your participation - at any level - is vital.  A high level of participation in the Annual Fund is a tangible demonstration of our community’s belief in the school, its mission, and its promise to future generations.  Participation numbers are as important as the fund's monetary goal because they demonstrate our families' commitment to Marylhurst and to outside corporations and foundations. A high participation rate allows Marylhurst to be competitive when applying for grants. No matter the size, your gift makes a difference!
