Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is a vital component to Marian’s overall fundraising effort.  Annual Fund gifts from the Marian community—the Board of Directors, parents, alumnae, parents of alumnae, Servants of Mary, staff and friends—help Marian provide tuition assistance to more than half of the student body, as well as underwrite enhancements to Marian’s curricular and extra-curricular programs. 

Make a Gift
This year, Marian is challenging YOU to find the power within and make a difference to the current and future girls of Marian by participating in the 2009-2010 Annual Fund.  It's never been easier to make a gift.  Simply click on the DONATE NOW button at the bottom of this page.  The gift YOU make:

• supports Marian’s 30-plus clubs and student activities that empower our young women to think for themselves. 
• helps Marian remain the most outstanding all-girls high school in the Midwest.  In 2009, $8.7 million in scholarship money was awarded to Marian’s 134 graduates, all of whom went on to continue their education at public and private colleges and universities across the nation.
• sustains Marian’s Fine Arts Program, where students inspire others through their performances and work.  Year after year, Marian’s vocal and instrumental music program receives Superior rankings on a local, regional and national level.
• provides upgrades to Marian’s athletic equipment and facilities, allowing Marian girls to excel in their respective sports. Marian’s athletic teams have earned 18 state titles in the last five years.
• provides funding for educational trips, where students learn the impact they have on the world.  For the last four summers, Marian has sponsored a ten-day immersion trip to the Dominican Republic in conjunction with Creighton University’s Institute for Latin American Concern (ILAC) Program.  The focus of the program is to encourage participants to develop a heightened awareness of the ethical and moral issues that confront third world countries.
