Support Mount Madonna School's
transformative education.
The Annual Giving Fund is the heart of philanthropy at Mount Madonna School (MMS), supporting our mission to nurture thoughtful, innovative and compassionate leaders. Each year, we aim for 100% participation from our community – parents, faculty, staff, board and trustees to show the collective commitment that underscores our mission. Every gift, no matter the size, helps demonstrate to our accrediting bodies, the California Association of Independent Schools (CAIS) and the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC), that our community is fully invested in MMS and its future.
The Mount Madonna School difference is profound.
Where else can you find a school dedicated to developing caring, critical thinkers who are prepared to address the challenges of tomorrow? The Annual Giving Fund sustains programs that shape students’ intellect, creativity and character, supporting experiences that are beyond what tuition alone can cover. It helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating students, providing each MMS student with enriching opportunities to learn, grow and lead.
Mount Madonna School’s transformative approach equips students to think differently, dream bigger and approach problem-solving with courage and resilience.
Through unique offerings like the buddy program, elementary environmental science, and the middle and high school learning journeys, our students gain firsthand experience with local and global issues – whether it’s tackling food insecurity, advocating for environmental sustainability, exploring value systems or promoting social justice.
Your support directly fuels these transformative experiences. With your generosity, MMS faculty can continue to inspire, challenge and cultivate curiosity in each student, fostering a lifelong love of learning and service. Every gift to the Annual Giving Fund enables our educators to do what they do best: prepare students to make a positive difference in the world.
By contributing to the Annual Giving Fund, you’re not just supporting a school – you’re investing in the future. The leaders and changemakers emerging from MMS will go on to impact countless lives, advancing a more compassionate and inclusive society.
