Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF)

We create meaningful opportunities for students and educators by transforming generosity into lasting impact. Through classroom grants, scholarships, essential resources, and district-wide investments such as upgraded playgrounds, digital arts and engineering programs, literacy libraries, and mental wellness initiatives, MAEF helps every student thrive, inspires learning, empowers teachers, and strengthens our schools.

I support MAEF because it expands access to education and opportunity for students who might otherwise be left out. Investing in MAEF is an investment in stronger families, communities, and futures.
— Matthew VanMeveren, Mahtomedi Parent
