McDonogh Fund


Making Excellence Possible

The McDonogh Fund is McDonogh’s fundraising priority. This yearly initiative is vital to the School's financial well-being, making excellence possible across all programs, providing tuition assistance for deserving students, and helping address the School's most pressing needs. Since tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a McDonogh education, annual fund dollars help ensure funding for the exceptional people and programs that define McDonogh’s distinctive educational experience.
