Legacy Campaign Surpasses $85M Mark
Since the public announcement in April 2023, support for McDonogh’s Legacy Campaign has grown to $86 million, bringing us to 96 percent of our $90 million goal. New gifts—in a variety of sizes—will help the School increase student access, enhance its academic offerings, enrich the student experience, and preserve its campus. We are grateful to our donors who, since the Campaign’s inception, have established 37 new scholarship funds, four new teaching chairs, and 18 new funds for programming and campus preservation. The best way to join this historic effort is by making a gift to the McDonogh Fund. Leave your legacy at mcdonogh.org/give or contact Pat Muth at pmuth@mcdonogh.org to discuss creating or naming a new endowed fund.
