Your financial contribution to the Titan Annual Fund supports the people and programs that define MDS: amazing teachers, small classes, instructional resources, technology advancements, and enrichment classes (art, Spanish, PE and Music). Tuition covers ~85% of our operating budget, so MDS relies on a combination of grants and unrestricted funds/donations (i.e. Titan Fund) to make up the difference.

Morganton Day School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit institution. We are here to provide the best education to a diverse group of students, which requires tuition to be affordable. In order to provide the best programs and competitive compensation to our outstanding faculty and staff, we continually evaluate and assess tuition increases. However, unlike tuition, a financial contribution to the Titan Fund is fully tax-deductible and allows each family to give at a meaningful level to which they are able.

Yes, definitely! Even if your family is financially unable to write a large check, your participation is vital in our efforts to obtain grants. Many foundations look for 100% participation from families when reviewing grant applications. Also, we now have an online payment option, which allows you to give small amounts throughout the year. For instance, a gift of $10/week adds up to over $500!
