About the MPPEF
The Midland Park Public Education Foundation brings together families, educators, businesses, and community members to fund innovative programs and resources that enrich learning for students throughout Midland Park Public Schools.
Who We Are
The MPPEF is powered by volunteers who share a commitment to strengthening educational opportunities for Midland Park students. By bringing together parents, educators, community members, local businesses, district leaders, and the Board of Education, the Foundation helps turn community support into resources that make a difference in our schools.
Our role is to help bridge the gap between great ideas and the funding needed to make them possible. Teachers and administrators are encouraged to propose innovative programs, classroom resources, and enrichment opportunities through the Foundation's grant process. Grant requests are reviewed by the MPPEF Grants Committee and Board of Trustees, helping to ensure that community support is directed toward projects that enhance and expand the educational experience for Midland Park students.
Together, we can turn great ideas into meaningful opportunities for Midland Park students.
MPPEF's Mission
The Midland Park Public Education Foundation raises funds to support innovative programs, educational resources, and enrichment opportunities that extend beyond the district's regular budget. Working in partnership with district administrators, the Board of Education, educators, families, and the wider community, we help bring new opportunities for learning to Midland Park students.
As an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, the MPPEF turns community support into meaningful investments in our schools—from classroom grants and new technology to educational initiatives that help students learn, grow, and thrive.
