Annually, MEF commits funding to grants proposed by our School Site Council. The Board of Directors of MEF is made up of parents of students at Montclaire. Its members are men and women representing various professions and skills including business, education, medicine, fund-raising, and law. These board members contribute time, energy and resources to accomplish MEF goals. Neighbors and local businesses also contribute.
Donations are tax-deductible.
In addition, many companies match employee contributions. Students are asked to find sponsors who donate either a flat fee or an amount based on the distance walked. Some students have walked over 30 miles during the six hour event. MEF also has a scrip program, a no-cost way of donating to the Foundation. Purchasers of scrip gift certificates buy them at face value from MEF and use them like cash.
