Giving FAQs
Who's giving to Maharishi?
Support comes from parents, alumni, faculty, staff, grandparents, board members, volunteers, friends, local businesses, and charitable foundations. Every contribution — large or small — strengthens our community.
Why is fundraising so important?
Tuition covers only part of the cost to educate each student. Tax-deductible donations bridge the gap and keep an exceptional education accessible to more families.
How can I give?
Online by credit card, or by mailing a check to the Development Office at 804 Dr. Robert Keith Wallace Dr., Fairfield, IA 52556. We accept all major credit cards.
