Because when students feel seen, supported, and celebrated—they sparkle.
What We Do
It only takes one moment to change a life.
One spark. One chance. One yes.
The Mapleton Education Foundation is here to make those moments happen—not by luck—by design.
We invest in students and educators by funding opportunities that ignite curiosity, inspire confidence, and create connection. Whether it’s a classroom transformed by a bold idea, a student stepping into an experience they never imagined, or a teacher supported at just the right time—our mission is to make possibility feel personal.
We know that when students are lifted up, they rise.
When teachers are trusted, they soar.
And when a community believes in its schools, everything changes.
This is what we stand for.
This is what we make possible.
And we invite you to be part of it.

Every program we support is about opening doors for Mapleton students. Sometimes it’s a classroom mini grant that sparks creativity and new ways of learning. Other times, it’s a scholarship that turns a college dream into a reality—or a holiday shop that makes sure every child feels the joy of being celebrated.
Take a look -
Our events are more than dates on a calendar—they’re moments when generosity takes center stage and our community shines. Whether you join us for a lively gala, a spirited auction, or a heartfelt celebration—every laugh, bid, and shared story helps create opportunities for Mapleton students. Come be part of the energy, the hope, and the change we make together.
