Support from Our Entire Community

Since the School’s founding in 1877, our community has come together, no matter the circumstance, to support Masters. The Masters Fund, an important piece of the historic Our Might campaign, is the only annual giving initiative at the School. Gifts are put to immediate use to provide vital resources to students, faculty and staff.

Masters Fund support makes up the difference between the annual operating budget and tuition revenue, and ensures that every student is able to benefit each year from an exceptional, rigorous academic program led by talented faculty, with access to cutting-edge technology, equipment and supplies. In the midst of the Our Might campaign, the Masters Fund ensures that as we plan for a promising future, the educational foundation we are building upon remains solid and strong.

Every gift — no matter the size — counts and is needed and appreciated. Robust Masters Fund participation is a valuable endorsement of our School, our mission and our community.
