A strong community is an engaged community.
Mustangs grow and give. Behind all the moments of inquiry, innovation, and impact in each student’s learning journey at Mount Vernon lies the generosity of those who give.
Like most independent schools, tuition covers the foundational in-class experience but does not cover the total cost of educating our students, so additional financial support from all members of the Mount Vernon community is essential for a truly enriching student experience.
For Today: MVFund
The Mount Vernon Fund (MVFund) is an important part of the School’s operating budget and a mission-critical fundraising effort providing the resources necessary to continuously support an Impact Ready education.
Faculty recruitment and retention, innovative classrooms, dynamic arts programs, exceptional athletics, IDEA and well-being initiatives, financial assistance, professional development, maintaining our beautiful campus and so much more are all funded with support from the MVFund.
Our goal is 100% participation to support 100% of Mount Vernon students! We ask every member of our community to make a personally meaningful contribution.
For a Brighter Future: Let’s Do This
Let’s Do This will reshape the Mount Vernon experience and nurture excellence across all dimensions of our educational journey placing an emphasis on health and well-being.
WAYS TO GIVE
Online
Making an online gift is an efficient and secure way to give. You will immediately receive a confirmation email with the gift receipt.
Gift of Stock
Contributing appreciated stock is a popular way to give as it reduces current income tax and capital gains. Please indicate your intention to transfer stock by following our stock transfer instructions below.
Matching Gifts
Many employers participate in matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Search to see if your company offers a matching gifts program.
Georgia Goal
The Mount Vernon Community has the ability to redirect its Georgia tax liability to support Independent School education. Georgia GOAL funds are used to provide financial assistance to qualifying families. These funds stretch the financial assistance funds provided by the School and have a direct impact on our families.
