Thank you for helping us reach our goal!

From snail mail to social media, and multiple online giving pages running throughout the day, we had a number of ways for the Saint Mary's community to help us reach our $20,000 goal - and reach it we did!

In fact, all told, Saint Mary's Day of Giving 2023 brought in $29,970 dollars!

You also helped us get the full $3,060 alumni board challenge match, with a total of $8,478 coming in from first time donors (welcome!) and those who increased the amount of their gift this year.

THANK YOU for stepping up to help Saint Mary's students, ensuring we surpassed our goal, and helping to honor our founders and lasallian catholic heritage while building towards our future.

Saint Mary's Day of Giving Challenge:

Addressing Saint Mary's Most Urgent and Important Needs

Your gift this year supports next year's students and needs. At the heart of philanthropy at Saint Mary's is the Saint Mary's Fund. This fund provides flexible, accessible support that helps the university respond immediately to critical needs as well as bolster support for ongoing requirements like scholarships and program investments.

When you make a gift to SMU, you join alumni, friends, parents, faculty and staff who are acknowledging the value they hold for a Saint Mary's education and want to further its impact on students, the university, and communities in which Saint Mary's serves. The fund not only provides an important resource, but it also provides something quantifiable that can be used to leverage other forms of support. Most importantly, the flexibility of an unrestricted gift to the Saint Mary's Fund allows the university to finance the areas of greatest need without further costs onto students through tuition.
