The Mathematics Foundation of America (MFOA) was founded to administer Canada/USA Mathcamp, a five-week summer program for mathematically talented high school students. The broader mission of MFOA is education, inspiration, and community-building in mathematics, with a pre-collegiate focus.
MFOA's administrative functions with respect to Mathcamp consist in overseeing Mathcamp's operations; building and supporting economically diverse cohorts via the MFOA Fellowship; and fundraising for Mathcamp's operational budget and scholarships.
Projects to advance the mission include incubating talent through early identification and mentorship of talented students; collaborating with peer organizations to expand the ecosystem of enrichment programs; and evaluating factors related to talent development and career choice.
MFOA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, EIN 57-1035414. It was created in 1995 under the Non-Profit Corporations Act of South Carolina. It is a non-member organization run by a self-perpetuating board of directors. The term of a director is three years, and is renewable.
