What is the Annual Fund?  The Annual Fund is a yearly fundraiser that enhances the operating budget, programs and projects of Morrison Academy. Gifts are solicited from alumni, parents, friends, corporations and foundations. Constituents can give a restricted or non-restricted gift to the school. Monies raised through the Annual Fund Drive affect all aspects of student life at Morrison Academy. Please consider making a gift to the Annual. Your gift helps ensure the success of quality ethical education at Morrison Academy.

Why does Morrison have an Annual Fund?  Doesn’t Tuition cover the operating costs?  Tuition and fees cover the basic educational and program costs of educating each student. The board of trustees is committed to making Morrison Academy a good value.  

At Morrison Academy we also desire to go the extra step by providing an enhanced educational experience.  The Annual Fund has helped us start new programs and make other programs better on all our campuses.   

Additionally, charitable gifts would be even more difficult to obtain given the increase in tuition.  This would hinder our ability to finance many of the important programs and improvements made possible by charitable support.

Is giving to the Annual Fund unique to our school?  No.  Private, parochial, and independent schools have long relied upon the generosity and loyalty of their constituents to advance their institutions.  Very few, if any, private, parochial, or independent schools, colleges, or universities go without fundraising programs to enhance their schools.

What does Morrison expect of us in terms of the Annual Fund?  We need every person's gift, no matter the amount.  We hope you will choose to participate in the Annual Fund to the extent that you are financially able. 

How much should we give?  Only you can decide.  We ask that you remember that your contribution, along with those of all our donors, will directly enhance a young person’s Morrison education.  The only gift too small is no gift at all!

When will the fund drive begin? You will receive a letter asking for your support in September or October.  We accept donations all school year.
