Annual Fund

Annual Fund Giving

Together, we’ve faced the challenges of this year and remained true to our mission. With your help, WE WILL continue to overcome, improve, and thrive. Please make your gift to the 2021-22 Annual. Go, Owls!

By giving to the Annual Fund, you touch every aspect of school life – academics, athletics, the arts, extracurricular programs, technology, and facilities. In other words, a donation to the Annual Fund benefits every boy every day. It is the Annual Fund that allows MUS to say “yes” when faculty or students have new and exciting ideas that would remain only ideas without the necessary resources. A strong and growing Annual Fund ensures that MUS will continue to offer the best in all areas to all students.
 
The school’s success relies on the support of alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, trustees, businesses, friends of MUS – and you. Last year our loyal supporters contributed $1.5 million to the Annual Fund in unrestricted gifts, helping to keep tuition costs lower. 

MUS has several contribution levels, from Donor (less than $50) to the Ross M. Lynn Society ($5,000 or more). Every contribution is vital in maintaining MUS's tradition of excellence and furthering our mission of developing well-rounded young men of strong moral character.

Our fiscal year runs August 1 - July 31.

  • Donor Privacy Policy

    At Memphis University School we respect the privacy of our donors and are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity in all fundraising efforts. We will not share, loan, trade, rent, or sell our donor list to any other organizations.

    We collect and use information about our donors, including name, address, phone number, email address, mailing preferences, and giving history. This information is kept on file for IRS purposes and is also used by our Development Office to analyze overall giving patterns in order to make more accurate budget projections and plan for the future. Information on our donors is password protected and may only be accessed by individuals who need such information to perform their assigned duties.

    To publicly recognize and thank donors for their generosity, we publish an annual report that includes a list of donor names in qualifying annual giving society levels. Individuals who wish to remain anonymous should contact the Development Office at (901) 260-1350.
