The Delbarton Mothers' Guild

The Delbarton Mothers’ Guild (DMG) supports the educational, cultural, social, spiritual and financial needs of Delbarton School. The DMG assists with Homecoming, partners with Campus Ministry for the Thanksgiving Food and Christmas Toy drives, decorates the campus for Christmas, co-hosts class socials with Fathers & Friends, and kicks off the school year with class coffees.

The DMG annually conducts three main fundraisers (the Delbarton Shop, Shop ‘Til You Drop and the Spring Fashion Show) to support financial aid at Delbarton.

The DMG also runs community-building programs such as an Advent Morning Retreat, DMG Cares (dedicated to helping our community during difficult times), a Lenten Morning of Reflection, weekly Body and Soul (Rosary and Jockey Hollow walk), a monthly book club, Walking with Purpose, and various social gatherings.

Delbarton Parents of Graduates (DPGA)

supporting delbarton

About 10% of the annual operating budget comes from gifts to the Delbarton Fund, gifts that are made every year by parents, alumni, and friends. Together, tuition and the Delbarton Fund are the foundation of daily life at Delbarton, transforming the educational experience for every student every day.

Distinct from fundraising for strategic priorities or donations to St. Mary’s Abbey, gifts to the Delbarton Fund add up to about $2,420 per student and are used exclusively to support school programs and facilities.

The Delbarton Fund sustains the program of excellence that has come to define Delbarton School.

Your participation in the Delbarton Fund matters most. All funds raised this year will be spent this year. Every gift, large or small, directly enriches each student’s Delbarton experience every day of the year. Last year, 67% of parents contributed to the School, generously donating nearly $1M to the Delbarton Fund.

The Delbarton year runs from July 1 – June 30, so if you have not yet made a gift, please consider doing so today! Donations can be made online, by mail, or by calling the Advancement Office at 973-538-3231, ex. 3055.

Are you searching for a way you can make a big impact at Delbarton? An outstanding team of parent volunteers helps to organize the effort. The Current Parent Delbarton Fund Committee is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with their mission—spreading the word about the importance the Delbarton Fund, which supports the each and every student at Delbarton.

The time commitment is manageable—the committee has three evening meetings a year and any other work can be done on your schedule. The Kick-Off Meeting is Monday, September 23, at 7:30 p.m. in Old Main. Please join us! Questions? Contact Maria Van Kirk, Director of the Delbarton Fund, at mvankirk@delbarton.org.
