Investing in Our Children’s Future

By setting up your tax-deductible donation you will have a direct impact on your child's education. 

It’s easy to do and can be modified at any time - so please invest in your child’s education today! 

We’ve also added the ability to make a stock donation. Donating stock (vs. cash) helps you avoid capital gains tax while earning a bigger tax deduction. And it’s easy! Take advantage of this tax opportunity and make a stock donation today!

"Moreland's generous and engaged parents, volunteers, and community work together to offer educational opportunities to your student. Through fundraising, MEF and HSC each support valuable programs that can't be provided by public funding alone. Your donations to MEF and HSC make important programs possible."

Dr. Clover Codd

Moreland Superintendent
