THE FOUNDATION FOR A LONG-LASTING FUTURE
a message from Dr. Bill Hudson

May is one of my most favorite months of the year (not just because of my birthday!). There is so much hope and promise as the grass greens, trees bud, flowers bloom, and boats go in the water.  Hope and promise are important to us all and spring is a reminder of what can and will be.

Hope and promise are important to institutions as well. Over forty years ago, a group of parents and educators banded together in hopes of founding a new and different school, one built upon an understanding of the whole child. They believed in the promise of each child and knew that education is more than academics and includes the social, emotional, and physical development of a child and a balance between academics, arts, and athletics. read more >

MPA WELCOMES PLANNED GIFTS SUCH AS:

  • Charitable Bequest (provision in your will) – Include MPA in your will or revocable trust, a simple, flexible way to maximize your legacy to the school.
  • Retirement Asset – Donate a percentage of your retirement funds to MPA and receive considerable tax advantages.
  • Life Insurance – There are several ways to use life insurance to benefit the MPA: Make an outright gift with an existing insurance policy, purchase a new policy and name the school as the beneficiary, or assign ownership of the policy to the school. Use life insurance to replace the value of another charitable gift in your estate.
  • Charitable Lead Trust – Make a significant gift to MPA now while passing on an appreciated asset to your loved ones.
  • Charitable Remainder Trust – Create a trust that pays you for a specified period of time and make a gift of the remainder to MPA.
