About Us
Who We Are: The Foundation for MERS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established by parents and community members during the 2009-2010 school year to transform education in our district. Governed by volunteer trustees, we operate independently from the Board of Education and Parent Teacher Organizations, focusing on collaborating with these groups to provide innovative educational resources beyond district funding constraints.
What We Do: Since our inception, we have granted over $1 million to PK-8 schools, supporting various educational programs, technology, teacher training, and the arts. Funding comes from individual donations, community sponsorships, and special events. We hold two grant cycles annually to allow teachers and administrators to propose programs or resources that enhance education in our district.
Mission: Our mission is to educate, enrich and empower our PK-8 students by collaborating with our community to provide resources to our schools. We do this by investing in impactful school programs and initiatives.
Vision: Our vision is that every student across our district has educational opportunities that foster growth and help them reach their full potential.
