Program Gifts
Although the Annual Fund is critical to Marylhurst’s success and ability to keep tuition costs affordable, there are many funds and projects that give donors the opportunity to directly impact our students. We hope you will be excited by the array of opportunities to directly support our students. Your gift will truly enhance the quality education at Marylhurst.
Please contact David Dickson or Sandy Marron in the Office of Development with any inquiries.
