The Office of Advancement is responsible for the institutional marketing of Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy including, but not limited to, annual and planned giving, capital and endowment campaigns, alumni relations, special events, public relations, fundraising and school communications.

The office works closely with the NDPMA Board of Trustees, school administration, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, grandparents and friends to ensure that the mission of the school is understood and that the needs of the students are continuously met.

The Top 10 Advancement Goals for the 2009/2010 school year are as follows:

1. Grow the annual fund
2. Build the training and fitness center
3. Promote IB “World School” designation
4. Continue to refine external marketing positioning, strategy and execution
5. Improve internal communications
6. Establish alumni board
7. Better connect with ND Prep alumni
8. Continue to reach out to NDHS, PC and OC alumni
9. Promote planned giving
10. Show thanks and appreciation to all our volunteers and donors 

There are many ways that you can help support the advancement effort of the school. Gifts to the Annual Fund are the highest priority for the school today, as these gifts are unrestricted and can be used toward the purpose deemed most important by the school administration.  However, we encourage all families to learn about the various methods of giving and to donate generously from their hearts so that we can continue to ensure a strong future for our kids. All donations, at any level, are sincerely needed and appreciated.

Thanks for your support!

The NDPMA Advancement Team
