MEET THE FOUNDATION

The Minnetonka Public Schools Foundation brings together community members and professionals committed to creating more opportunities for Minnetonka Public Schools students. Our Board of Trustees, Ex Officio members, staff, and interns support our mission of strategic philanthropy.

Independent.

MPSF is an independent, tax-exempt, non-political nonprofit governed by a 19-member Board of Trustees. District residents, Minnetonka alumni, and parents of current or former students are eligible to serve on the Board.

Connected.

Representatives from the School Board, district leadership, and the Minnetonka Alumni Association participate in Foundation board meetings, keeping us connected to district needs while maintaining our independence.
