Annual Innovation Fund
The Annual Innovation Fund is The Main Street Academy's (TMSA) premier fundraiser and the most important annual giving opportunity at our school. As a Fulton County Schools district public charter school, TMSA does not charge tuition and does not receive public funding through SPLOST that traditional public schools receive for capital improvement projects and ongoing facility maintenance. Thus, TMSA strongly relies on the generous support from our donors and community partners to help provide our students and teachers with exceptional educational and instructional experiences. All gifts, both large and small, help provide TMSA scholars with an exceptional learning experience and are greatly appreciated. All supporters of the TMSA community are encouraged to participate and make a tax-deductible donation to the Annual Innovation Fund between July 1 - June 30 each school year. The goal for the 2022 -2023 Annual Innovation Goal is $100,000 and 100% parent participation.
