About

🏠 Lasting change begins closest to home—right here in our community.

🤝 At Media‑Providence Friends School, we see that change every day in our classrooms — in the questions our students ask, the empathy they show, and the confidence they build.

Every student carries a spark—a light of curiosity, compassion, and courage—nurtured within a vibrant Friends community.

The Annual MPFS Fund keeps that light burning, ensuring our school has the resources to fulfill its mission and meet the needs of every learner.

💛 Why Your Gift Matters

Tuition covers only about 70% of the cost of educating an MPFS student.
Unrestricted gifts to the MPFS Fund bridge the gap by:

📚 Bridging the gap between tuition and the actual cost of an MPFS education
👩🏫 Offering competitive salaries & professional development to attract and retain exceptional teachers
🫶 Providing need‑based financial aid to nearly half our families
🎨 Investing in technology, classroom equipment, arts, Spanish language, and enrichment programs
⚡ Responding quickly to emerging needs and unforeseen challenges

✨ The Power of Unrestricted Giving

Unlike gifts earmarked for specific programs, unrestricted gifts go where they’re needed most—right now.
They empower MPFS to maintain excellence in teaching and learning, ensuring our classrooms reflect the diversity of the world around us.

🌟 Your Impact

Your gift to the MPFS Fund creates the kind of change that matters most—positive, lasting change in the lives of children.
You awaken the light in every student, preparing compassionate, confident young people to engage thoughtfully with the world and strengthening the community we all share.

🎁 Every Gift, Any Amount, Shines 💡
Together, we can make a difference—starting here.
