Mariner Foundation

The Mariner Foundation, as a dedicated organization, is committed to supporting the success of Mountain Island Day Community Charter School. By establishing a partnership between parents and teachers, and providing necessary resources, the Foundation aims to contribute to the school's prosperity. In essence, its mission is to foster a conducive environment that enables Mountain Island Day Community Charter School to thrive.

Moreover, the Mariner Foundation plays a pivotal role in the school's operations. It holds the ownership of the school's facilities and manages the associated debt. In the fiscal year 2019-2020, the Foundation secured a significant loan of $24,735,000 through a public finance bond offering. This capital was utilized for purchasing the school's formerly leased facilities, constructing a new educational complex, acquiring land for future expansion, and making substantial improvements to the school's premises. The Foundation then leases the property to the school, ensuring a steady flow of funds to cover the annual debt service requirements.

Beyond these financial contributions, the Mariner Foundation also takes on a more hands-on role in the school's activities. It coordinates extra-curricular and ancillary activities, such as arranging for transportation and overseeing student activities. Furthermore, the Foundation manages expenses and fees for additional activities, including dance, art, and athletics. In this way, the Mariner Foundation serves as a vital partner in the growth and development of Mountain Island Day Community Charter School.
