MDEF is a non-profit organization established by parents and patrons of MDSD as an active partner with the School District to build a better future for our children. Established in 2006, the MDEF has distributed nearly $290,000 in grants to enhance and promote public education in McCall & Donnelly. This has been possible through the hard work of a unique and diverse board, as well as a committed and supportive community. This year MDEF has put 5 wonderful new programs in the schools. It is our goal to touch as many children’s educational needs in the area as possible.

Our vision is an engaged community committed to helping children reach their highest potential through innovative educational experiences. To accomplish our vision, the McCall-Donnelly Education Foundation serves as a catalyst for educational excellence. We secure and provide funding and engage and mobilize our existing community assets to enhance learning opportunities for children.
