News & Events MPSF

The Moline Public Schools Foundation hosts numerous events each year to generate the financial support and community partnerships that fuel our work.

We deeply value the donors, sponsors and volunteers who help advance our mission and increase our presence across the Moline-Coal Valley School District.

Back-to-School Campaign 2024

This year, the Moline Public Schools Foundation will be awarding $100-$200 microgrants to help teachers get their classrooms ready for the year. Microgrants will fund extra supplies and projects that go above-and-beyond what the district provides.

$200 microgrants will be awarded to every teacher who is brand new to the Moline-Coal Valley School District in 2024-25 thanks to a generous grant from the Moline Regional Community Foundation.

Donations are currently being accepted from individuals, organizations, and businesses to help fund $100-$200 microgrants for returning teacher (view the list of 2023 recipients here). Teachers will be invited to apply for microgrants in early August, and selections will be announced by September 1. The number of microgrants awarded will be based on funding available.

MPSF Spring Celebration

The annual Moline Public Schools Foundation Spring Celebration was held on Thursday, May 2 from 6:00-9:00pm at Old Oaks Winery (10814 1st St W, Milan).

More than $30,000 was raised at the event to support the MPSF teacher grant program. Each year, the foundation awards more than $50,000 to classrooms across the district for creative projects that directly impact student learning. Grants provide teachers with extra resources that aren't typically funded by the district.

Please save the date for the 2025 Spring Celebration on Thursday, May 1.
