The Malvern. Forever. campaign is a comprehensive campaign in which all gifts to the Malvern Fund, Friar Club, EITC/OSTC, endowment, and capital priorities are counted summatively in an effort to raise more than $65,000,000. Unlike a campaign for one capital project or one endowed fund, this campaign is focused on expanding endowed funding for our highest priorities, raising capital funding for the Student Life Center, and increasing participation at every level in the Malvern Fund, Friar Club, and EITC/OSTC. The Malvern. Forever. campaign offers an opportunity for everyone in our community to make a difference — every gift accelerates the School’s ability to fulfill its mission.

An endowment is a fund established to provide an organization with a perpetual source of income. It is typically invested, and the earnings generated support specific initiatives, scholarships, or programs. The Malvern. Forever. campaign is focused on growing the endowment for a long-term investment that generates income to support the school's ongoing needs.

A strong endowment gives Malvern Prep the ability to invest in people first so we can attract the best teachers; enroll students with excitement, curiosity, and character regardless of their ability to pay; and fund transformational experiences.

Tuition alone does not cover all operating expenses of running an institution like Malvern Prep. Each year, contributions to the Malvern Fund reduce the tuition gap. These additional funds are needed to maintain and enhance Malvern Prep's programs and facilities and ensure financial sustainability for the future.

The entire Malvern Prep Community benefits from the Campaign as it supports the School's mission of engaging and inspiring today's young men to become tomorrow's leaders. Current and future students will benefit immediately from improved academic spaces and the recruitment of a more diverse student body. Current and future faculty will gain opportunities for professional development and expansion of curriculum opportunities.

Your gift, regardless of its size, can have a meaningful impact. We are asking everyone to stretch their giving during the Campaign to help us reach this historic milestone. If you are unsure of a gift designation, a gift to the Malvern Fund would be immediate and impactful. 

Thank you for your gift and support of one of these funds! Annual Giving remains a top priority, and because the Malvern. Forever. campaign is comprehensive, every gift helps us reach our $65 million goal. If you are interested and able to support additional campaign initiatives, we encourage you to consider giving above and beyond your Malvern Fund/Friar Club or EITC/OSTC gift. The additional campaign priorities include the Malvern Prep Athletics Turf Fields and Student Life Center and endowment support for financial aid and student programs. 

Absolutely! We encourage you to share the campaign with your friends, family, and networks. Your advocacy helps raise awareness and support for Malvern. Forever.
