Campaign Priorities

Aligned with our Go Boldly strategic plan, Believe. Belong. Be Bold. aims to raise $40 million in four crucial areas over five years. The campaign’s success helps to strengthen Hill-Murray’s future, ensuring our continued ability to serve students for generations to come.

  • Annual Giving$8.5M

    Gifts to the Annual Fund are the foundation of philanthropic community support, impacting every aspect of a Pioneer education – from learning and faith; activities, arts, and athletics; and to technology, campus and security.

  • Tuition Assistance$9.5M

    35% of the student body receives assistance

    Over $2.1M awarded annually

    Tuition Assistance (or scholarships) can be given in three ways:

    • Friends of Hill-Murray (pooled funds),
    • Annually-funded scholarships, or
    • Endowed scholarships (often named in honor of people/families or “class of” years.)

  • Legacy Giving$15M

    Demonstrate your passion by investing in Hill-Murray and its students. Create a plan for your gift that fulfills your personal intentions and objectives to designate Hill-Murray as a sole or partial beneficiary of your will, trust, bequest, retirement account, life insurance, appreciated securities, charitable annuity, or other financial instruments.

  • Capital Improvements$7.5M

    To support our student population growth and strategically innovate our campus, we plan to add over 10,000 square feet of new indoor and outdoor spaces on the west side of campus. The new additions create flexible spaces for dining, collaborative learning, and socializing.
