The Mark Morris Foundation was created in 2008 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the school. The independent, nonprofit organization is accepting tax-deductible donations for the benefit of MM students ― for scholarship programs and projects at the school.
“Now that Mark Morris has been established in the community for 50 years, it seemed like the right time to form a foundation. This will give an opportunity for thousands of Monarch alumni who have benefited from their experiences at Mark Morris to assist future students,”
Foundation President Jackie (Kelly) Evans (class of 1960).
