The MMS Annual Fund
Multiply Your Impact!
Did you know many companies offer matching gift programs for current and retired employees? By simply taking advantage of this opportunity, you can instantly increase the power of your donation! It’s a quick and easy way to amplify your support and make an even bigger difference for our school.
Every fall, early in the school year— just as some of you are still recovering from the shock of independent school tuition—we launch the MMS Annual Fund, asking families to make a donation to our beloved school. MMS is made up of diverse families from various cultural and economic backgrounds who all come together in their support of the Annual Fund. We know that tuition is a significant part of your family budget, but it's inspiring to see so many of you go above and beyond to strengthen our community. Last year, an incredible 84% of families participated-far surpassing the national average and together, you helped raise $127,620 to ensure the success of our programs and initiatives.
The Metzen family has been a proud part of our community for generations. Pictured here is Brett, an MMS graduate from the Class of '86, with his wife Sarah, and their children, William (MMS Class of '22) and Clover (MMS Class of '24). Thanks to their generous donations, our school continues to thrive, ensuring that this exceptional education is available for our children and many children to come.
Annual Fund Dollars Are Distinct From Tuition
Your tuition supports the day-to-day essential needs of our school, faculty salaries and benefits, and professional development for our teachers. Your tuition dollars sustain the initiatives that keep our school thriving, ensuring a bright and vibrant future for generations of children, those who are here now, and those yet to arrive.
Annual Fund donations are crucial for our school's continued growth and support. These contributions directly fund capital improvements, provide tuition assistance, and offer emergency aid to families in need.

Biggs Field House for a school concert or noticing the impressive new toddler playground under construction, you are witnessing the tangible impact of these vital contributions. Your support truly makes a difference in our community.
