Giving That Sustains
Your generosity makes a meaningful difference in the lives of MPA students—past, present, and future. As an independent, nonprofit school, Mounds Park Academy relies on the support of our community to sustain excellence and ensure access for students who dream of being here.
Every gift directly supports MPA’s annual operating budget and the areas that matter most—academics, arts, athletics, access, faculty innovation, and campus spaces. Whether unrestricted or designated, your giving strengthens the student experience every day.
Consistent, year-round support provides the flexibility to respond to emerging needs, invest in new opportunities, and nurture a learning environment rooted in curiosity, connection, and growth.
Every gift—at any level—matters.
If you have questions or would like to explore your impact, please contact Ashley Goetzke, director of development and community engagement, at 651-748-5536 or agoetzke@moundsparkacademy.org.
Thank you for being an essential part of the MPA community.
The MPA Fund Supports Dreamers And Doers
At MPA, our students dream boldly, think deeply, and strive to shape a better tomorrow. Your gift to the MPA Fund during the Fall Campaign and Spring Auction helps make that possible.
Each fall, we invite you to support our students during a week of giving called the Fall Campaign in November, culminating in a powerful day of giving on Give to the Max Day. Together, we aim to raise $400,000 to support the transformative experiences that define MPA.
Each spring, we invite you to support our students at the Spring Auction. This event is more than a fundraiser—it's a night to honor our incredible community, support our mission, and have some fun along the way.
When you give, you now have the opportunity to direct your impact to the area of the MPA Fund that matters most to you—all while helping MPA grow and thrive.
