MEF-PFP is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) charitable organization. Your donations are tax-deductible and help us enrich the education of Maize USD-266 students.

You may wish to read the instructions on our Donation Page before you click on the Donate button if you are paying by credit card.

We are actively seeking new Board members! If you are a parent of a USD-266 student, a USD-266 alumnus, or simply a member of the Maize community that would like to help, please contact us about serving on the Maize Education Foundation Board of Directors. There are many ways to help besides being a board member if you have some time or talent to devote to improving the education of Maize students.

We need volunteers from the community to be on our Golf Tournament committee. If you have experience with golf tournaments, fundraisers in general, or just want to help, please contact us ASAP!
