Our Mission

Since 1979, MAIA has worked to improve the quality of life for all people of the Pajaro Valley. Historically we have provided assistance in education and health by supporting innovative projects that benefit families who work the land. Most recently our focus has been on counseling and creating opportunities for underrepresented low income students to attend college.
Support us

There are several ways that your gift will contribute to MAIA's work:

  • A donation of $500 or above will help a promising college bound student by sponsoring a summer school experience or a college visit.
  • A contribution of $500 to $4,000 a year to the Mike Sullivan Scholarship Fund, will make it possible for these special students to attend the college of their choice.
  • By contributing to MAIA's Small Projects Fund you will enable MAIA to continue its support of elementary and secondary school-based projects aimed at identifying and preparing low income students for college .
