Advancement
Mater Dei provides many opportunities to give back, whether you are an alumnus, alumna current or past parent, faculty member, grandparent, or business leader. Our giving opportunities exemplify the various ways you can choose to support our school. We pledge to be good stewards of all gifts made to Mater Dei High School.

Who will benefit from my gift?
Mater Dei High School remains steadfast in its commitment to a diverse and dynamic student body. This diversity of culture and talent is a direct result of our school's admission policy. This ensures that students who have more ability and promise than financial resources will be able to attend Mater Dei.

Financial Aid has recently become one of the fastest growing budget items and unrestricted donations help provide assistance to more than 30% of the student body.

We all benefit from your generosity. For over 50 years, Mater Dei graduates have gone on to lead their communities in the areas of law, education, medicine, business, civics, religious life, and social welfare. Mater Dei graduates bring the tradition of excellence with them to their workplaces and their community organizations.

Why does Mater Dei need my help?
Mater Dei's ability to surmount challenges and realize opportunities will not rest on its traditions or on the strength of existing resources. Despite sound management, Mater Dei can benefit from a larger resource base than we currently do.  The Annual Fund and Surf's Up Dinner Auction continue to grow annually, as the MD 2010 & Beyond Capital Campaign and Planned Giving Program gain momentum thanks to many generous benefactors.

The merits of Mater Dei speak for themselves. Our goals for increasing development revenue are ambitious, but essential if Mater Dei is to maintain its leadership role in Catholic education. Your support will strengthen a tradition founded in love of God and His love for children. Please consider the importance of giving back to Mater Dei.

Consider the tax benefits:
Every gift made to Mater Dei is tax-deductible. As you consider your year-end tax planning, we hope you will consider Mater Dei. Your year-end gift can significantly reduce your income taxes, while providing meaningful support for us. We urge you to discuss your tax planning with your accountant or other financial advisor. {Click here for on-line giving}.
