"The mission of the Mattawan Public Education Foundation is to strengthen the community through funding unique educational opportunities."
State funding for public schools in Michigan continues to be a challenge for all districts. Mattawan is a highly successful school district, however, Mattawan has consistently ranked in the bottom ten percent with regard to funding, with the majority of local schools receiving much more funding on a per-student basis. There is a significant gap between what it costs to educate students annually and the funding Mattawan receives from the state.
The Mattawan Public Education Foundation exists to help bridge that gap.
MPEF accomplishes its mission by seeking community support. Our fundraising efforts allow us to fund unique classroom initiatives through Brainstrong Grants for our teachers, provide scholarships for our graduating seniors, offer professional development opportunities for staff, and fund a number of annual, school-wide grants that support student connectedness, school safety and special education initiatives. MPEF is part of EVERY student's experience at Mattawan at EVERY grade level. The contributions we receive enhance the teaching and learning experience at Mattawan and directly impact the quality of education in the district.
Please join us! Be part of enhancing Mattawan education by supporting the Mattawan Public Education Foundation. Together, we can accomplish more!
