Support the Fund FOR MCS

Unrestricted, tax-deductible gifts are an immediate investment in our students and teachers and a critical addition to our tuition revenue. Our goal is that each current family will support our Every Family, Every Year - 100% campaign at an amount that is comfortable for their family. Additionally, it is our hope that other community members such as alumni, alumni families, grandparents, and friends will also support MCS through making donations to The Fund for MCS.

  • The Fund for MCS supports day-to-day operational expenses. The Fund for MCS depends on your participation year after year and counts on high participation from all of our community members. These unrestricted, tax-deductible gifts are an immediate, tangible investment in the daily life of students and teachers and are a crucial complement to our tuition revenue.

  • Every member of the extended community is asked to support The Fund for MCS each year. High participation demonstrates our community’s strength and shared commitment to our students and is vital to the School’s efforts to attract gifts and grants from foundations, corporations, and other individuals.

THE GIVING CIRCLE

The Giving Circle is a mission-aligned fundraising initiative that honors our legacy of a shared social contract. It is an opportunity for the MCS community to come together to champion our school’s legacy as a beacon of progressive education and to ensure its long-term sustainability.

  • Each year, the Advancement Office looks for support from a dedicated group of parents and alumni volunteers to help ensure the success of the Fund for MCS. In addition to making their own donations, they work closely with the Advancement Office, reaching out to their peers to encourage annual giving through phone calls, text messages, emails, or in-person appeals. We are extremely grateful for volunteers' support and all the meaningful ways they help to extend the reach and success of the school.
