Why Give?

Nurturing, challenging, and inspiring our students requires dedicated educators, top-tier facilities, exceptional materials, and the flexibility to seize new opportunities. Thanks to the support of our parents, grandparents, alumni, staff, and friends, the VMS Fund has been an essential pillar of our success for over 60 years.

This year, our goal is to raise $400,000 by December 6, with a strong focus on achieving 100% parent participation. Your contributions directly support our students' entire experience—from academic programs and outdoor education to middle school clubs and tuition assistance. The VMS Fund also empowers us to fulfill the priorities outlined in our new strategic plan.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting difference. Together, we can "Climb Higher" and ensure the continued success of Vail Mountain School for future generations. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.
