Mattawan Public Education Foundation

MPEF values its past: those whose vision and passion established the foundation and made possible the successful organization we have become. An all-volunteer organization, the foundation began thanks to the combined efforts of some school administrators, members of the school board and community volunteers. Since 1993, MPEF has continually grown through its volunteers and the community, each providing funding to impact virtually every student in our school system through innovative programs. As one founding member notes: "How can you go wrong being involved in an organization that helps kids become better adults?" Our history offers a perspective that both informs the past and encourages our continued growth and improvement. We have found that looking back allows us to look forward with a clear vision of what can be.
