Parents Fund News
Congratulations to all our donors whose contributions pushed last year’s Parents Fund over $400,000! Thank you!

Associate Director of Alumni and Parent Programs
According to Chantal DuPuis, “The NMH Parents Fund is now a well-oiled machine, and we are ready to address the needs of parents who, in addition to their Parents Fund gifts, want to support special interests or passions related to the academic, residential, spiritual, artistic, or athletic life of their children.” The goal this year is to create opportunities for NMH parents to contribute their time and talent to NMH.

The Parents Fund is part of the NMH Annual Fund and the
NMH 130th Anniversary Campaign. It is an essential component of the school’s operating budget. A gift in support of the Parents Fund is an investment in your child’s future and helps the school continue its mission of excellence. Combined with annual contributions from our alumni and friends, the Parents Fund has an immediate impact on the educational experience for which NMH is renowned.

Every gift to the Parents Fund directly affects each student, every day. Parents Fund dollars help underwrite everything from scholarships to up-to-date lab equipment tocompetitive athletic programs to the arts to advanced technology to, yes, even keeping on the lights!

An often misunderstood fact is that tuition does not cover the full cost of an NMH education. The difference is made up from the endowment and unrestricted gifts by parents, alumni, and friends of the school.  These gifts help to bridge the over $10,000 difference between tuition and the real cost of an NMH education. That is why your gift is so important.

Reaching our Goals
To reach our goals, the Parents Fund seeks to engage parents in a variety of ways: in person through on- and off-campus events and personal visits, by mail and by telephone through our Parent-to-Parent calling programs, and through parent phonathons.

Every Gift Counts
The Parents Fund is made up of hundreds of gifts in all amounts that collectively have a real and direct impact on the quality of academic, residential, and student life at NMH.  Last year gifts ranged from $5 to $70,000.
