Calling All Murch Families to Support Our School!
Dear Murch Community, 
Every day, our teachers and staff give our kids their best. This fall, we’re asking our community to give a little back.
Today we’re kicking off our Support Our School Campaign, our annual fundraising campaign for Murch. Our goal this year is $110,000, and we’d love every family to be part of it.
Where your gift goes
We’re all lucky to be part of an amazing school, but the school budget doesn’t cover everything that makes Murch feel like home. SOS funds help bring to life:
- After-school programs
- Performing arts activities
- Field trips
- Coffee on the playground
- Classroom and office supplies
- Teacher and staff appreciation
- Community events
- And much more
These dollars help our teachers, and they help make sure every child can take part, including students who might otherwise miss out. When we raise this money together, it benefits everyone in our building.
Ways to give
- ONLINE: Visit this link to make your gift via credit card.
- Donor-advised fund (DAF): You can recommend a grant to the “Ben W Murch Home and School Association” through your DAF sponsor’s usual process. Our EIN is 52-6053804. This Thursday, October 8th is National DAF Day and would be a great opportunity to give!
- CHECK: Please mail any checks to: Murch SOS, PO Box 6356, Washington, DC 20015
Every gift matters, whatever the amount. If you’re able, we’re suggesting $500 per student. If that’s not possible for your family, please give what feels right. Every gift of $10, $25, or $50 makes a massive difference. Participation is what makes this community work. We’ll be collecting gifts through mid-December and will share updates along the way.
Thank you for being part of this community. If you have any questions, please email sos@murchschool.org or see our Frequently Asked Questions page.
With gratitude,
