Giving
Gifts of Your Time and Talents
Marymount School welcomes the participation of parents, alumnae, parents of alumnae, grandparents and other friends of the School in the life of our community. Whether it be volunteering at an event such as the Christmas Fair, participating in career panels for students, providing internships, or contributing your time and creativity in other ways, the School appreciates your involvement. Please visit the
Parents' Association and
Alumnae pages of this website or contact the Director of Special Events (212.744.4486 ext.8102) at the School, or the Director of Alumnae Relations (212.744.4486 ext.8176).
The Annual Fund
In all independent schools, tuition and fees do not cover the full cost of a child's education. The Annual Fund helps to bridge this gap, enabling the School to maintain its high standard of academic excellence. Gifts to the Annual Fund are typically pledged at the start of the school year and fulfilled by June 30 of the following calendar year. The School seeks high participation from parents, alumnae and faculty in our Annual Fund. Every gift makes a difference.

Parents' Association page for updates on events.
