Every gift makes a difference.
At Karl G. Maeser Preparatory Academy, every gift — large or small — makes a lasting difference. Your support empowers our students to pursue Truth, Honor, and Virtue through rigorous academics, inspiring arts, competitive athletics, and life-changing experiences like Winterim. Together, we are building not just classrooms and programs, but futures. We invite you to partner with us in shaping the next generation of leaders, scholars, and creators.
Fine Arts Building
Maeser’s new Fine Arts Building will provide dedicated spaces for music, theater, and visual arts—giving our students room to create, perform, and grow. Your support helps make this vision a reality, ensuring future generations can experience the beauty and discipline of the arts.
Boosters: Teams & Programs
Maeser students shine both inside and outside the classroom. Whether on the soccer field, in debate competitions, or on the stage, our teams and programs rely on the support of families and friends who believe in their potential. By contributing to Boosters, you can designate your gift directly to the team, club, or program you love, ensuring that every student has the resources to excel.
Winterim
Winterim is one of Maeser’s most distinctive traditions, giving students the chance to step outside the classroom and experience learning in exciting, real-world ways. From local hands-on projects to international travel, Winterim broadens horizons and inspires lifelong curiosity. Your support helps us expand these opportunities—especially travel experiences—so more students can explore new cultures, new places, and new perspectives.

Volunteer
Maeser parents are highly encouraged to perform 40 hours of volunteer service per family each year. Every $5 spent on donated items to the school counts as one hour of service. Report volunteer hours of service at this link. If you have any questions on submitted hours, contact Sue Holdaway at the front office.
Other Ways to Give
There are many ways to make a lasting impact beyond traditional donations. Planned gifts, gifts of stock, donor-advised funds, and other creative giving options allow you to support Maeser in ways that align with your family’s goals. These special gifts often provide tax benefits and ensure that your values live on for years to come. Please contact our Advancement Office to learn more about how these opportunities can work for you.
