Mounds Park Academy

An MPA education creates a brighter future for each student who enters our doors, each family who experiences the joy of our community, and the entire world, thanks to the ripples our students create as they make their way through their journeys in life.

The 2023 “Your Gift, Their Future” Fall Campaign is the critical time of year when we raise the funds necessary to dream big and do right. This one week, from November 11-18, will culminate with Give to the Max Day on November 16. We need to raise $500,000 to support teachers, students, and our entire community. When you make a gift, you ensure our students, faculty, and staff have the tools, resources, and support they need.

Every gift of every size makes an impact. This year, you can direct your gift in one or all the following ways:

1. Academic Innovation: Your gift to Academic Innovation at MPA will provide enhanced professional development and micro-funding for teachers on topics including diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and neurodiversity. Academic Innovation means high-impact student learning experiences such as field trips, artists in residence and visiting authors, and enhanced student programming such as our award-winning Robotics Club. Your support will continue the MPA tradition of rigor with purpose and joyful learning through teacher-driven innovations.
2. Access: Your gift to support Access at MPA will directly support families in the form of scholarships and Indexed Tuition, ensuring every child can benefit from all we have to offer. We are proud of our diverse community, including the socioeconomic diversity of students and families. At MPA, we want to ensure the exceptional experience at MPA is open and accessible to any family, regardless of their financial status.
3. Arts: Your gift to the Arts at MPA means every student can continue to foster and nurture their skill, talent, and appreciation of all artistic endeavors. At MPA, we embrace, support, and nurture all children through our robust visual and performing arts at every division. Our incredible Arts faculty and programs, including theater, music, and visual arts, ensure every student can maximize their artistic potential, build confidence, and create beauty.
4. Athletics: Your gift to Athletics at MPA helps to ensure our no-cut athletics team sports and facilities are competitive and enrich our student athletes’ lives. Help us to ensure our athletic facilities and programs continue to create the environment for lifelong memories, inclusion, and sportsmanship for every Panther. Donations will support top-notch coaches and the latest equipment and supplies so that every MPA athlete has the experience they deserve.
