GIVING

Contributions to St. Michael’s School preserve our tradition of academic excellence and ensure a strong financial future. We are grateful for the generous outpouring of gifts from our families, faculty, staff and friends of the school. Below are the various opportunities to give.

The SMEDS Fund – Our Annual Fund

The SMEDS Fund supplements tuition as the economic engine of the school. Every year, our entire St. Michael’s community is asked to make a tax-deductible contribution to the SMEDS Fund. And each year, we receive an incredible 100% participation from faculty, staff and our incredible families. These gifts are imperative to help preserve the St. Michael’s education, culture and campus. To learn more about the SMEDS Fund, please refer to our SMEDS Fund Frequently Asked Questions.

St. Michael’s Benefit Auction


Held each spring, St. Michael’s Annual Benefit Auction is an unforgettable evening filled with parents, staff and friends who come together to raise critical funds for the school. The event is organized by parent volunteers and staff who pour countless hours into creating a wonderful experience for guests to engage and give generously to the school. Our silent auction and live auction are among the best in the area.

Father Vaughan Endowment for Tuition Assistance


The Father Vaughan Endowment for Tuition Assistance was established in the name of former head of school, Father Vaughan, and his indelible mark he left on the SMEDS community during his tenure as Head of School from 1981 to 2012.
