About

Today is the day, it's Giving Tuesday, a worldwide celebration of giving! Giving Tuesday also marks the end of MPH's 'Two for Tuesday' campaign. We are so grateful for the support and generosity of the MPH community over the past four weeks. Together we have raised over 75% of our $100,000 campaign goal - securing critical funds for the MPH Annual Fund. 

Thank you to all of our donors during this campaign with a special thank you to our matching challenge donors for inspiring us all to join together in support of MPH. 

Join us on this last day of our campaign by making a gift and doubling the impact of your support and help us reach 100% of our goal for this year!

Why is our Annual Fund so important? 

A successful Annual Fund allows us to provide critical funding to all areas of our school such as, faculty compensation, tuition assistance, professional development, academic programming, athletics and performing arts.


Updates

What a day! As we are midday on Giving Tuesday, we are thrilled to announce we have raised over $92,000 towards our $100,000 campaign goal, are 75% of the way though today's Riley/Rubenstein $10,000 match, and completed our morning participation challenge! Special thanks to the King Family for offering a generous match.

To get us across the finish line, with a goal of strong community participation, Sarah Matt and Gus Lott P'28, '34, '35, offered a new challenge: an additional $2,000 to this campaign if we receive 15 more pledges or gifts by 5 p.m.

If you haven't participated yet, this is the time. This one is all about joining together as an MPH community!

Today marks ONE MORE WEEK until our Two for Tuesday grand finale on Giving Tuesday, December 3rd.

To kick-off this final stretch, we are excited to announce two new matches available to us today only!

~

Our first challenge is a $5,000 dollar-for-dollar match generously offered by MPH Lower School parents,

Elle and Hardeep Bindra P'35.

~

Our second match is another Alumni Triple Match!

Sisters, Madeleine Mafrici '19, Elizabeth Mafrici '17, and Natalie Mafrici '15 have come together to triple match gifts made by MPH alumni up to $2,500! Alumni, this is a great opportunity to participate and support MPH!

Every gift, every amount, helps us secure these wonderful matches from our families and alumni.

We are almost there - thanks to all of you!

Why does the Bindra family love MPH?

“MPH has always been more than a school for us - it’s a community that has a profound impact on young minds. We’ve seen this firsthand with our daughter, Mira. What stood out during our first visit two years ago and continues to remain true is how this community authentically celebrates individuality, respect, and kindness.

We invite you to join us in supporting MPH - your generosity will help ensure this transformative experience continues for every student.”

Week #2 - Another $5,000 match

Good Morning MPH families:

This Tuesday marks the second week of our month-long Two for Tuesday campaign at MPH.

Gifts are rolling in from parents, alumni and grandparents and now we have launched ANOTHER $5,000 matching challenge from MPH parents Emily and Duncan Brown P'31.

Emily and Duncan have been parents since 2018 and if you ask them what their favorite part about MPH is, they'll undoubtedly say the School's faculty.

"The teachers at MPH have helped create and foster an amazing learning environment," says Emily. "We give to support the teachers and the great work they do."
