MACS Foundation
In 2022, the Mount Airy City Schools Educational Foundation was created. This 501c3 was established to allow donors to contribute to the arts programs, dual language immersion programming, and workforce development efforts within the district. In 2023, the Board voted to rename this to the Mount Airy City Schools Foundation and to create an athletic branch within the organization to support student-athletes. Donors are able to visit any First Community Bank location with a check written to "MACS Foundation". Locations can be found by clicking here.
