Support MPA

At MPA, there are many ways to support our community through philanthropy. Each fall, our Fall Campaign brings the community together to invest in the MPA Fund, helping offset operating expenses while strengthening our shared commitment to the school. In the spring, we host our annual Spring Auction, which raises critical support for the MPA Fund as well as a designated Fund-A-Need project. In addition, community members can make a lasting impact through the MPA Legacy Society by including MPA in their estate plans or naming the school as a beneficiary.

Here are some key milestones in 2026-27:

• Fall Campaign: Sunday, November 15, 2026 to Saturday, November 21, 2026
• Give to the Max Day: Thursday, November 19, 2026
• Spring Auction: Friday, April 16, 2027

We ask donors to help us kick off our first season of giving by considering a gift during the Fall Campaign. While we are eager to maximize giving during the campaign, we absolutely welcome gifts throughout the year and deeply appreciate every donation we receive, whenever it is given. You have the option to pledge during the Fall Campaign and contribute at a time that is convenient for you. Please click here to contact the Development Office at to make a gift.

As a nonprofit institution, we rely on charitable gifts to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of an MPA college-preparatory education. Tuition and other revenue covers approximately 81 percent of MPA’s operating expenses. Charitable gifts, typically given annually, close the gap and provide the foundation for continued investments in our curriculum, facilities, and faculty. Charitable gifts to MPA support teachers’ salaries, educational resources, financial assistance, and improving our facilities, helping create and sustain a consistently outstanding experience for every MPA student. These gifts make an MPA education affordable and accessible to more families.

Donors also benefit, because your gift is 100 percent tax-deductible and is often matched dollar-for-dollar by many employers. Be sure to check with your employer to learn more about its matching gift program. Click here to learn about the many ways you can help MPA annually.

During this school year, our goal is to raise $850,000 in philanthropic support for MPA. This includes both unrestricted gifts to the MPA Fund and restricted gifts designated for priorities such as Fund-A-Need projects, innovative programming, endowment growth, financial aid, and other strategic initiatives. These investments provide critical resources for our students and faculty, support exceptional educational opportunities, strengthen our community, and help ensure that an MPA education remains affordable and accessible to more families.

Giving at MPA is as diverse as our community—there’s no one “right way” to make a gift. We understand that giving is highly personal, and we invite families to contribute at whatever level is appropriate for them. Every gift is valued, and your participation at any level is appreciated.

Your donation makes a profound difference in the life of our school and our students, both today and for generations to come. Please contact Ashley Goetzke, director of development and community engagement, at 651-748-5536 or [email protected]. She would be happy to discuss your giving goals and develop a personal giving plan, whether it’s a one-time gift or recurring donations throughout the year.

We are humbled by your generosity and inspired by your commitment. Thank you for supporting MPA.
