Our Mission
Our Vision

To provide students with technology and support resources necessary to excel in media arts, inspiring the next generation of creative professionals to make their mark in the industry.

How we support the MAD Academy

We empower students through financing creative media arts projects and initiatives.

Digital Equipment

MAD Academy requires specific digital and technilogical equipment; it changes rapidly and requires replacement and upgrading. We help provide this funding.

Administrative Support

The MAD Academy Board of Directors provides funding for ongoing administrative support to the Director of the MAD Academy program and the Santa Barbara High School.

Sponsored Events

From annual Taco Nights for MAD family and friends, to educational field trips to San Francisco or Los Angeles museums, or fundraising through silent auctions, the MAD Board of Directors works to enhance the quality of the MAD educational experience.

The Endowment

We oversee the designated financial pool of funds in the California Academy Foundation, guaranteeing annual funding for the MAD Academy's ongoing expenses not covered by the Santa Barbara municipal school district.

Various objects such as bottles and figurines appear in the background, creating an eclectic and creative environment.
