Mooney Fund

Together We Thrive

What is The Mooney Fund?

The Mooney Fund is the cornerstone of alumni and parent giving at Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School. Each year, The Mooney Fund supports the most impactful aspects of the student experience in the areas of teaching and learning excellence, classroom technology, faculty development, campus ministry, and enrichment opportunities in art, athletics, and leadership.

Your gift, no matter the size, provides vital support to further Cardinal Mooney’s mission of inspiring our students through faith toward personal and academic excellence, deepening their God-given talents to lead and serve for the betterment of our community and the world beyond.

We ask each member of the extended Mooney family to prayerfully consider a charitable gift that is meaningful to you. When you invest in Cardinal Mooney students you invest in future Catholic leaders destined to be agents for good in our community and positive change-makers for the world who are so needed today.

The Mooney Fund opens on July 1 of each year and ends on June 30 of the following year.
