Furthering the excellence of Madison's public schools through community support.

Help make all Madison public schools thriving schools, where every student reaches their full potential. Madison Public Schools Foundation is committed to supporting the education of every child by raising private funds, awarding grants, developing community partnerships, and advocating for our public schools. Established in 2001 by a group of community leaders and former educators, the Foundation

believes that every child deserves the best education. Since then, we have given over $10 million back to Madison public schools for creative and innovative projects which could not otherwise be funded through the core school budget. We Believe
- Every child deserves a high quality and equitable education.
- The future depends upon today’s investment in the educational experience of tomorrow’s leaders.
- High quality public education is fundamental to a vibrant community and a strong local economy.
- Access to public education is essential for a thriving democracy.
- The Foundation plays a vital role in connecting public schools and community resources. We Will
- Fund promising, innovative educational programs and activities outside the core school budget.
- Build and sustain partnerships that mobilize business and community resources.
- Invest community resources to expand opportunities for all Madison public school students.
- Promote the value of Madison public schools throughout the community.
- Manage the Foundation with integrity and transparency.

One magic card trick can go a long way in building connections!

Each month, Madison West Kiwanis members connect with a different group of Midvale Elementary School first-graders for their Lunch Buddies program, building friendships through conversations about everything from rainbows and leprechauns to favorite snacks. Before the kids head out to recess, they're sent off with a fun magic trick and a sweet treat.

Madison West Kiwanis’ commitment to supporting students also extends beyond the classroom—most recently, they awarded our Foundation a $2,500 grant to support our Teacher Support Network. Thank you, Madison West Kiwanis!

Wonderful Adopt-a-School moments never end!

Quality leadership leaves behind a legacy. Last night, outgoing Foundation President Melinda Heinritz was recognized for hers.

During MMSD's inaugural Building for the Future Leadership Awards, Melinda was surprised with the first-ever Legacy Award, honoring her work strengthening our schools, communities, and futures. Since today is her final day as our President, this recognition is a meaningful capstone to a change-making term.

Thank you, Melinda, for the impact you’ve made and the legacy you leave behind. 💙
