The Maize Education Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization devoted to facilitating resources, funds and opportunities that enhance the education and post-secondary preparation of students within the Maize USD266 School District. Since its founding in 2003, the Foundation has worked in concert with the district's administration, staff members and Board of Education to identify and address ever-changing needs in arts, technology, curriculum and more. In that time, the Foundation has awarded more than $300,000 in Classroom and Student Grants. Competition for employment, college admission and post-secondary tuition continues to increase, meaning our work is never done. We continue to strive to support programs and projects that provide the best educational growth and opportunities in order to help our students prepare for life beyond the Maize School District. With the continued support of generous donors, sponsors and volunteers, the Foundation positively affects thousands of students and families through grants and programs within the OneMa1ze Community.
