A gift to The MKA Fund is the single most important way to support MKA and makes an immediate impact on the lives of students and faculty.
MKA’s highest giving priority each year is The MKA Fund. It provides critical resources to keep our students a step ahead, supporting a dynamic academic program, talented faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a nurturing community.
Annual support is crucial in elevating our school from good to truly exceptional. While tuition covers our basic needs, the MKA Fund allows us to provide every student with the full, enriching MKA experience. Your support of the MKA Fund is an investment in the future success of each of our students.
