Support MAD
Support the MAD Academy
Donations provide all the extras that make MAD unique, engaging, and innovative. With the help of parents and community donors, we can fund computers, cameras, grip and lighting equipment, supplies, trips, facilities and student support services. These items that make MAD so special are made possible because individuals and organizations donate to the MAD Academy. Financial contributions to the MAD Academy are entirely voluntary, and not a condition of participation in the program. If you choose to donate, your generosity will ensure that we are able to continue providing amazing resources and opportunities.
Donation Considerations
MAD can provide a charitable contribution form for your records, but does not assure your donation is tax deductible. Please consult your accountant. Santa Barbara Unified School District (SBUSD) requires the following statement: California law and SBUSD board policies require that the donations used to fund school-related activities be truly voluntary. No student will be excluded from participating in any school-related activities because the student or their parents has not made a donation. Any suggested donation amount is also voluntary. If you choose to make a donation, you can make it in any amount you deem appropriate. No donations will be returned to you if your child decides or is unable to participate in the program to which you donated.
