A gift to the Mathews Fund for Excellence is a valuable legacy from your family or business!

School Sign Purchased in 2007
This endowment fund offers everyone in the Mathews community a chance to contribute to the continuing quality of our school. The fund was established in August 2005 as a sustainable way to support Mathews programs — people invest in the future of our school by donating to the fund with the knowledge that the principal (donated funds) will remain untouched, while interest accumulates and can be withdrawn annually.
Contributing to the endowment fund allows for your donation to have a much greater impact over a long period of time than if it were spent all at once — the money you contribute is used to make more money, so your initial investment is paid forward again and again. Please contact us for more information.
