Join the SMA Giving Community
Since 1869, St. Mary’s Academy has been shaping young women into leaders, thinkers, and changemakers. Every year, 600 students walk through our doors, growing in faith, knowledge, and confidence—supported by the legacy of those who believe in the power of education.
This would not be possible without the generosity of our donors. They give because they want to ensure SMA continues to provide an exceptional learning environment where every student can thrive.

Make a Bursary Gift
The Bursary Program is the cornerstone of our commitment to providing an SMA education for all. With approximately 1 in 6 students relying on bursary support, the demand is at an all-time high, and more is needed to meet the growing need.
This is a great time to donate to the SMA Bursary Program! Bob and Marnie Puchniak have generously committed to matching the first $50,000 in gifts made to the SMA Bursary Program before June 1, 2025.
This incredible match means your donation will have twice the impact, opening doors for even more students to experience SMA’s nurturing environment.
Make a Capital Asset Gift
Help preserve the form and function of the SMA’s beautiful campus and modernize our facilities to meet the needs of today’s students. All contributions go towards critically important capital preservation and enhancement initiatives.
Support the Area of Greatest Need (Undesignated)
When you make an undesignated gift to the Area of Greatest Need, you provide SMA with the flexibility to respond to urgent priorities and direct support where it is needed most.
Make a School Programs Gift
Directly benefit students through experiential learning, leadership development, and mental health and well-being initiatives, equipping them with the skills and supports they need to thrive in today’s ever-changing world.
