What is the MLCEF? The Metropolitan Learning Center Educational Foundation (MLCEF) raises money specifically to support current (and additional) teaching and staff positions. The steward of this fund is now The Fund for Portland Public Schools. How much should I give? In order to maximize staffing, we have a goal of $300 per MLC student this school year. This amount is similar to what is asked of parents by other PPS school foundations and is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the the law.

Please give as much as you can. Every dollar truly helps and does make a difference. We need support from every MLC family to ensure that our children continue to get the rich and diverse education they deserve. If you cannot contribute financially, consider contributing your time and talents towards building and supporting MLC. For more information, please contact us!
Our foundation (along with every other Portland Public school foundation) also contributes a portion of funds raised to benefit schools that have limited capacity to raise parent funds to be used to supplement school staffing.
Don 't forget to ask your employer to match your contribution!
