The Annual Fund provides essential unrestricted monies for the day-to-day operations of the school - including faculty salaries, program expenses, and building upkeep. Like many other independent schools, MCS relies on four main income sources to sustain its annual operating budget: tuition, income from the Endowment, fundraising events (and, in our case, farm income) and annual giving.

The Chris Iijima Fund is a new endowed fund that will support the school's commitment to economic and social diversity in the classroom. The fund honors Chris Iijima's delight in the school's uniquely equitable admissions process. Chris Iijima was a beloved elementary school teacher at MCS from 1975 to 1985. He married Jane Dickson, also an MCS teacher, had two sons, and, late in life, became a law professor at the University of Hawaii's Manoa Law School. Chris died December 31, 2005, after a long illness, mourned by the many people whose lives he had touched. He was 57.
