Support Marquette
Support a Crowd Funding Project
In lieu of our traditional Fund-a-Need program at May Merriment, Marquette Academy is excited to introduce Crowd Funding. Crowd Funding projects will be time-sensitive and change throughout the year to meet specific goals.
Crowd Funding is an internet program that streamlines fundraising through the practice of financing a project(s) or venture by eliciting smaller donations from a larger pool of donors.
Marquette Academy exists because of financial support from three primary sources: tuition, parish assessments, and fundraising. We are able to offer students an exceptional faith-based education, extracurriculars, and athletics because of our generous donors.

Donate to as many projects as you like today, or until our goals are met!

Giving is not just about Making a Donation. It is About MAking a Difference!
Giving is crucial to the strength and growth of Marquette Academy. With the current challenges from COVID19 that we are all facing, your donations are more important than ever to help Marquette Academy and its students.
Giving supports financial aid, allows us to update our technology and facilities, enhances teaching and learning opportunities in and out of the classroom. Giving helps more than 300 grade and high school students attend Marquette Academy each year.
Thanks to the generosity of our alumni, parents, community members, businesses and friends, Marquette Academy has been able to continually enhance the lives of our students, with a lifelong love of learning, strong moral values, sports and extra-curricular programs, facilities and faculty.
GIVING is paying it forward so that Marquette Academy students of today and tomorrow can benefit now and in the future.
