MAFA's art events not only promote local and regional artists, but also support arts education in public and private schools. In last many years, when budgets cuts have adversely affected our schools, MAFA’s donations of more than $50,000 have supported art education in after-school and in-school programs. MAFA has also funded school teachers through mini-grants in Monrovia, Sierra Madre, Duarte and Arcadia. Other local organizations supported by MAFA are Foothill Unity Center, Boys and Girls club of Monrovia and YMCA.
