Madison Public Schools Foundation (WI)

An equitable education for our children today will ensure a prosperous future for us all.

Learning changes lives. High-quality public education opens minds to a world of new possibilities, transforming the trajectory of children and young people – and the future of their families and communities, too. We believe schools make Madison a great place to live, work and play. We work solely on behalf of the Madison Metropolitan School District and its teachers to ensure our schools continue to progress and create an equitable, promising future for all 26,000+ students.  Opportunities for our MMSD students make a better Madison for all of us.

All students deserve an equal chance to thrive.

Last year on Give Education Day, you helped us raise $6,500 dollars for our public schools because you believe every child deserves a high-quality and equitable education. 

This Give Education Day, we are aiming to raise $10,000 to support programs that help Madison’s public school students to achieve their full potential. Donate Now >>

Your donation will be used for:

• Teacher Support Network, a program providing school supplies, snacks, hygiene items, and more for students. This program works to fill school funding budget gaps, that teachers fill out of their own pockets to the tune of $750 on average. A lack of supplies and tools should not be a barrier to learning. 
• Advocacy for Wisconsin’s K12 education funding. Since 2002, Wisconsin has fallen from 11th best in the country in terms of K12 per-pupil funding to 25th, and since 2008, MMSD has lost more than $650 million (including $82 million in this school year alone). Public education is a right, and the Foundation is committed to providing data and resources that promote transparency, meaningful discussion, and action to impact our schools, students, and families. 
• Connecting our community to schools. Since 2005, Adopt-a-School partners have been volunteering and providing financial and in-kind gifts to our 52 schools across Madison. We are continually seeking opportunities to expand this support.
