Why

A gift to Friends of Mifflin is not just a donation — it is an investment in the future of Philadelphia’s children and the strength of the East Falls community.

Thomas Mifflin School serves students from a wide range of racial, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Many families face financial challenges, and the school ensures that every student is supported academically, socially, and emotionally, regardless of circumstance.

Mifflin is known for its warm and inclusive culture, characterized by teachers who stay after school to run extracurricular activities, staff who know every child by name, and families who consistently attend school events, volunteer their time, and advocate for better opportunities for their children.

Yet disparities in funding and access remain stark, and additional support is crucial for preserving and expanding the programs that help Mifflin students thrive.

Your Impact

You have a direct impact on the daily lives of our students. In a school where every dollar counts and every resource is maximized, your gift can:

  • Supply classrooms with essential supplies

  • Fund arts and STEM projects that inspire future creators and innovators

  • Create safe outdoor spaces for playing and learning

  • Support activities that open students’ worlds

Gifts to Friends of Mifflin are the most flexible and impactful way to support Thomas Mifflin Elementary School. Your gift allows Friends of Mifflin to respond immediately to emerging needs, invest in long-term priorities, and ensure that students receive high-quality educational experiences.
