Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our funding addresses educational, cultural, wellness, and athletic needs within the District.

With an annual grant application process and a committee of dedicated volunteers who review the requests evaluating through the eye of our mission; to strengthen the educational, cultural, wellness, and athletic programs of the Mechanicsburg Area School District, we are able to provide both annual and capital support.

By raising money and accepting donations, the Foundation is able to provide mini-grants in support of student and teacher programs and projects.

Annually, the Foundation provides between $50,000 and $100,000 in funding through a competitive min-grant process. Successful fundraising events, combined with interest from an endowment, currently valued in excess of $515,000 and donations through the Educational Improvement Tax program (administered by Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development) provide the resources to support the Foundation's efforts. Additionally, a scholarship endowment, currently valued at more than $417,000 provides us the opportunity to award scholarships to graduating high school seniors.
