When schools have access to community resources, educators can create more opportunities for students to learn, grow and succeed.

Supporting Minneapolis Public Schools

As the nonprofit foundation for Minneapolis Public Schools, Achieve Twin Cities helps connect community support with the schools, educators and students who benefit from it. We manage school and department funds, administer educator grants and awards, and help MPS students access college scholarships.

Together, this work turns community generosity into resources and opportunities that make a difference in classrooms and in students' futures.

School & Department Funds: We manage dedicated funds for approved MPS schools and departments, helping direct donations toward projects and activities that support students and school communities. Learn about MPS School & Department Funds

Educator Grants & Awards: We administer grants and awards that help MPS educators pursue professional development and create meaningful learning experiences for students. Explore MPS Educator Grants & Awards

College Scholarships: We partner with MPS to administer college scholarships for graduating seniors and recent graduates, helping make postsecondary education more accessible. Explore MPS College Scholarships

Be Part of the Investment: Every donation to an MPS fund, educator grant, or scholarship represents an investment in the people and ideas that help Minneapolis students thrive. Make a gift to MPS

Our partnership with MPS gives community members a way to invest directly in Minneapolis schools and students. Donations can support school and department priorities, provide resources for educators and classrooms, and expand access to scholarships for students pursuing education after high school.
