MAASE Foundation

The purpose of the MAASE Foundation is to promote charitable and educational objectives to assist in providing continuing special education development. This will include various methods of fundraising for scholarships, which will be disseminated to schools and local ISDs, the public, and any individuals interested in special education development.

The foundation may also provide grants to individuals or organizations, including school special education programs, for education, research, and other charitable and educational programs in order to increase awareness of the need to support our state’s special education community with voluntary financial support.

Within the context of the mission of the Foundation, it will support, facilitate, and enhance the mission and purposes of the Michigan Association of Administrators of Special Education.
