Frequently Asked Questions About DMSF’s New Office
Can I still send mail to the old office at 309 W. Washington?
Although we will continue to have access to our former office building through the end of 2025, we highly recommend directing all mail and deliveries to our new address moving forward:
Daniel Murphy Scholarship Fund

Where will Scholar-facing programs, such as tutoring, take place?

These spaces allow us to continue offering high-quality, supportive programming. Specific room details will be shared in advance of events so you can plan accordingly.
