Madrona Integrated Team
MIT is a non-profit, charitable corporation. It’s sole purpose is to support and enhance the education experiences of Madrona
MIT Not PTA
When the school was established, it was decided not to join the PTA. This was partly due to a desire to have more influence over the activities at the school, and also to be able to raise money to supplement the funds provided by the school district.
Non-Profit Corporation
MIT is a Washington State not-for-profit corporation, recognized under federal tax code 501c3. It is a non-profit so that we can solicit grant money and charitable donations. People who give money to MIT can write their donations off, and they can request matching donations from their employers.

Where your Money Goes
MIT raises approximately $50,000 through fundraising.
Over 1/3 of the money raised every year goes directly into classrooms, in the form of special learning materials or supplies that teachers cannot buy with the supply money collected from parents. This is allocated equally, based on the number of Full Time Equivalent teachers in every classroom.
1/3 of the budget is allocated to the one part time employee. The Volunteer Program Manager, is an essential part of MIT, and Madrona, without whom volunteer activities at Madrona would fail.
The balance is spent on the Library, the Tech Lab, music programs, subsidizing the after-school enrichment programs, and cultural and fun events.
Who Are Our Leaders?
The Madrona Integrated team is led by a governing council of parents, teachers and faculty representatives.
The MIT Board meets every month during the school year at the Madrona Library.
In general, the Board is elected by members of MIT every year. Who’s a member of MIT? All parents, faculty and students.
