We Are MD Annual Appeal

What is the Annual Appeal?
Financial aid is a crucial part of Mater Dei's mission and philosophy. The Annual Appeal consists of two need-based financial aid funds which help provide need-based financial aid to approximately 50% of our student body:

the Annual Fund supports all Monarchs receiving need-based financial aid
the Alumni Heritage Fund supports second and third generation Monarchs receiving need-based financial aid

The Annual Appeal represents unrestricted gifts of cash and stock made to Mater Dei by the entire school community. All contributions are 100% tax deductible! Consider making a recurring gift (weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually) and enjoy the ease of supporting Mater Dei at a frequency of your choosing. And don't forget to check if your employer matches gifts - which could help you DOUBLE or TRIPLE your impact.
