The MA Fund FAQ

The MA Fund is made up of unrestricted gifts from alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, and friends and is used to operate the campus on a day-to-day basis. Each year the school seeks contributions to the MA Fund from July 1 to June 30. All gifts and pledges completed before June 30th count toward this year's MA Fund.

Quite literally, every corner of both the Academy’s campuses and each student and teacher benefits from the MA Fund. The MA Fund equips our science and computer labs, builds the library collections, provides sports equipment for our athletic programs and maintains MA's buildings and grounds, to name just a few things.

Your participation is fundamental to assuring a solid financial future for The Montgomery Academy. You may feel that if you can only make a small gift to the MA Fund, it does not make much difference whether you participate. Quite to the contrary, the mere act of participation has great consequences.

By making even a modest gift, your participation will help achieve a much greater result. Your participation in the annual drive to support The Montgomery Academy is also valuable as a signal to others who are considering investing.

If we all give a little, collectively, we gain a lot!

Unrestricted gifts to the school count toward the MA Fund. Please note that gifts made to specific funds or purposes, such as the Weil Library or Endowment, are not counted toward the MA Fund. Therefore, donors to these projects are also encouraged to participate in the MA Fund.

We are very grateful for the time our volunteers give our children. Without their help we could not continue to provide the quality educational program that we do now. Gifts to the MA Fund are important and necessary to maintain and support that quality program.

There are, indeed, many charities and organizations that need – and are worthy of – financial support. We’re asking that The Montgomery Academy be one of the top ones you support. Supporting the MA Fund makes a difference now and in the future. The Academy is educating leaders who will take lessons learned and strong foundations to their personal and professional lives. Our graduates are making a difference locally, nationally and internationally.

As a student at the Academy, the community always rallied in support of your education. By contributing to the MA Fund, you are continuing the cycle of giving and directly impacting young people who are sharing in some of the same traditions and experiences you did. You are staying connected to The Montgomery Academy while ensuring others have the opportunities you had.

The Montgomery Academy alumni spouses will each be recognized for the entire gift amount.
