Business owners: You can donate to the Academy's growth and program development when you join the Friends of Maxine Mimms Academy (FOMMA). Your donation helps us provide essential services to our students.

Each donor is honored with a listing in our Sponsor Directory, which presents information about your company and/or the ways you are participating at MMA.

Major donors may receive additional benefits. Become a basic sponsor and then ask your company liaison for more information.

Look for the HTTPS address in the Paypal window that opens when you click the Add... button. We never see your payment data; pay with confidence!

For a limited time every donor of $50 or more will receive a numbered copy of A Pledge to Rescue our Youth, a poem composed by the late Dr. Maya Angelou for Maxine Mimms Academies. Donors giving $100 or more will receive an enhanced copy of the poem on heavy, parchment-like paper suitable for framing with a photograph of Dr. Angelou.

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) was a personal friend of Maxine Mimms. They shared numerous interests, especially a focus on the improvement of education devoted to a better life for all children. Dr. Angelou composed A Pledge to Rescue our Youth and assigned all proceeds from its distribution to the Maxine Mimms Academies in perpetuity.
