Welcome and thank you for visiting the Mary Lin Education Foundation website. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created in 2008 to provide educational resources and long-term planning for Mary Lin Elementary School in Atlanta, Georgia. Our Board of Trustees works with the school's leadership team to spotlight projects that bring innovative technology and teaching practices into the classroom and to provide capital improvements not provided by the school district.

Mary Lin is a thriving, award-winning public school of nearly 600 students. The Foundation and Mary Lin PTA work together to provide a top-notch educational environment for all students. The Foundation focuses on long-term projects while PTA works from an annual budget and is largely funded through school fundraisers and family donations. Foundation funds are generated mostly through sponsored community fundraising events, neighborhood associations, corporate funds, grants and individual donations.

Please help us continue to bring powerful instructional and technological resources to Mary Lin to help our students build a lasting educational foundation that inspires a lifelong desire to learn and grow.
