Foundation Facts

The Foundation for the Future...

  • Was founded in 1992, marking this academic year as the Foundation’s 16th anniversary at Menlo-Atherton High School.
  • Has raised almost $8 million for M-A over the last 15 years, including over $1.000,000 for the 2007-08 academic year.
  • Is the only fundraising group at M-A that pays salaries for teachers and staff, including over $900,000 for salaries this year alone. The Foundation helps close the gap between what public funding provides and what our local community demands for our students.
  • Supports M-A only, which means 100% of your donation stays at M-A to maintain and enrich programs for M-A students.
  • Relies on direct donations to raise funds to support excellence in education at M-A.
