Giving through a DAF is a tax-smart, effortless way to invest in Marian Girls.
Maximize Your Gift: Enjoy immediate tax deductions while growing your funds tax-free.
Simple & Flexible: Effortlessly set up one-time or recurring grants through your sponsor (Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, St. Louis Community Foundation, etc.).
Immediate Impact: Your grant directly fuels scholarships, STEM programs, and student support.
To give, simply log in to your DAF portal and designate Marian Middle School (St. Louis, MO) as the recipient. (Address and EIN below)
Because fund sponsors don’t always include donor contact info, please drop a quick email to our Development Team when requesting your grant so we can properly thank you for your generosity!
The Tradition of Giving
Gifts by Check
There is something special about the tradition of a handwritten check. Every envelope we open is a heartwarming reminder of the community who believes in the potential of Marian Girls–thank you!
Please make checks payable to Marian Middle School and mail to:
Marian Middle School Attn: Development 4130 Wyoming Street St. Louis, MO 63116
Tributes and Memorials If you would like to Light Her Way in honor or in memory of a loved one, a favorite teacher, or a special graduate, please include a note with your check. We would be honored to acknowledge your tribute and share the news of your generosity with the family or individual you are recognizing.
Double Your Impact
Matching Gifts
Did you know you could potentially double or even triple your gift to our girls? Many companies match the donations made by their employees and even retirees. It’s a simple way to double your impact for Marian Girls.
Check with your HR department to see if your employer has a matching gift program—your extra minute of paperwork could provide twice the academic, counseling, and graduate support for a student this year.
A Legacy
of Hope
Bequests
You can ensure that Marian Girls continue to succeed for generations to come by including Marian in your will or trust. A bequest is a beautiful way to leave a lasting legacy without affecting your current finances. Whether it is a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate, your gift lights the path for future students while also improving Marian’s future sustainability.
Planning for the Future
Planned Giving
Planned giving is a thoughtful way to support Marian while also meeting your own financial and family goals. From naming Marian as a beneficiary of your life insurance or retirement account to more structured gift annuities, there are many ways to invest in our mission. These gifts also provide long-term stability for Marian and Marian Girls, and helps you leave a ripple effect for generations to come.
