Donor Investment is Changing Lives
With 650 first-year and 162 transfer students, we've welcomed one of our largest incoming classes.
For the third year in a row, Saint Mary’s is listed as one of the top 10 best regional universities in the West in the U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings.
SMC supports every Gaels' journey to commencement, as 88% of our undergraduates rely on financial assistance.
We Appreciate Your Support
We appreciate every gift to Saint Mary's. While tuition and fees cover approximately 90 percent of the College’s operating expenses, annual gifts help us support the programs that are the foundation of Saint Mary’s unique educational experience. Through donor support, we can fully realize our potential.
Every Gift Counts
Gifts to Saint Mary's College give us the flexibility to seize new opportunities and manage the school’s most pressing and immediate needs. You can also designate your gift to any area or purpose that inspires your philanthropic spirit—scholarships, library resources, Gael athletics, books, mission, and service projects, to name just a few.
Maximize Your Gift
Your gift is tax-deductible and if you or your spouse is employed by a matching gift company, your gift could be doubled or even tripled!
Your Continued Investment
To celebrate and honor all those who make giving back an annual priority, we've launched our first-ever loyalty giving society, Delta Gaels. Thousands of alumni, students, parents, and friends have already made a commitment to give back and pay it forward every year, and now they're being further recognized for their generosity and loyalty.

During his junior year of high school, Andrei and his grandmother sat watching the Saint Mary’s vs. Gonzaga basketball game. That day was life-changing; he decided he wanted to attend a smaller, private faith-based school for College.
Samantha Schultz '17
Samantha Schultz has always loved science and landed in physics because she loves learning how everything works. Her inquisitive nature was the perfect match for the international research project cataloguing the Pisces-Perseus Supercluster of galaxies that she was introduced to by Professor Ron Olowin.
Sydney Corona '16
Small class sizes and the ability to really get to know her professors brought Sydney Corona to Saint Mary’s; the Leadership Alliance Summer Research Early Identification Program helped her soar.
