WHY SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL?
Our Past
A century-strong and still shining, Mathews Elementary is a historic heart of Austin where learning, belonging, and community come to life.
Our Present
Today, Mathews Elementary is a vibrant, inclusive downtown school where curiosity leads, creativity thrives, and every student belongs.
Our Future
To keep the light shining for generations to come, we need your support to preserve our legacy and power the future of learning at Mathews.
We are proud to be a top-rated school with a diverse, inclusive and vibrant community, but
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
District budget cuts put critical programs in jeopardy and it’s donations like yours that save them.
Without your donations we risk losing our STEM Innovation Lab, special cultural events, field trips and so many other important programs that make Mathews special.
If every family gives just $1 a day per student ($30/month), we’d be well on our way to meeting our $120,000 fundraising goal for the 2026-2027 school year — and would create a lasting impact for every child.
As a sustaining member, your monthly gift will strengthen our community, ensuring every student has the support, encouragement, and opportunities to truly shine.
