Ways to Give
When you make a financial donation to MMA you are demonstrating your commitment to sustaining MMA’s core values of educational excellence, concern for women and women’s issues, global vision and responsibility, compassion and service, collaboration with others, and spiritual growth and development.
Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the most important gift that you can make to Merion Mercy Academy.
It’s a vital source of support for us, providing essential funding that touches every aspect of our school and impacts the day-to-day learning opportunities.
A healthy Annual Fund shapes the Merion Mercy experience, allowing our students to have greater opportunities both inside and outside the classroom and giving our teachers the necessary tools to create better learning environments for our students.
It is only because of the generosity of alumnae, parents, and friends that Merion Mercy Academy is able continue our mission of educating young women.

PA EITC/OSTC Tax Program to benefit need-based MMA scholarships
You can transform your INDIVIDUAL or BUSINESS PA State Taxes into need-based scholarships for MMA. It may sound "too good to be true," but it is true, and very easy to do! If you or your business pay $1,000 or more in PA State taxes you are eligible to participate. You pay your taxes either way. Why not let MMA use the funds to help deserving students afford the gift of a Merion Mercy education? For more information, contact Linda Dowd at LDowd@Merion-Mercy.com or sign up for an upcoming webinar through the Foundation for Catholic Education (link to upcoming webinars).
Legacy Giving
Make a transformational gift to Merion Mercy that costs you little or nothing in your lifetime, and which leaves a lasting legacy for future generations. Planned or deferred gifts are designed to help our donors enhance their estate planning, tax planning, investment and retirement needs while also ensuring the future of MMA.
