MDE School's Day of Giving Annual Fund campaign is the most critical fundraiser of the school year. From our classrooms, enrichment activities, and life skills training, we could not provide the excellent special education program we do without our generous annual fund donors.

Your support of our mission helps to keep MDE School financially solid and thriving during the school year. We depend on the support of our Day of Giving Annual Fund campaign to sustain our mission. Each and every gift has a direct impact on MDE students and faculty by supporting the programs we offer.

Our goal this year is to raise $75,000 for the Annual Fund during our Day of Giving campaign on November 9 – 10, 2022.
Gifts to the Annual Fund are 100% tax deductible. MDE School is a recognized non-profit organization under 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
