MPAEF Announces Foundation 500 Challenge Grant 

 

MPAEF schoolhouse

The Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation is thrilled to announce a great opportunity for donors to double their money in support of our schools. To inspire new donors and increased donations, a group of generous families is funding the Foundation 500 Challenge, a $250,000 matching grant.  

 

Your donation directly supports our children's enriched education filled with art teachers, music teachers, science aides, and librarians; reduced class sizes, and teaching innovation through the Jeanne Ritchie Grant Program. 

 

Donate now through January 31 and the Foundation 500 Challenge Grant will match dollar for dollar:
  • New donor donations
  • Increased donations from last school year

With your donation and the dollar for dollar matching grant, we can raise an additional $500,000 for our children's education.  Let's work together and meet the challenge to keep our schools strong!  If your family has already contributed, thank you so much.  If not, there's still time to participate.  All donation amounts are greatly appreciated and will help us reach our goal.  Are you IN?  Please donate today!  Click here.
