Mission
The purpose of MADCAPS, as a private, nonprofit organization, is to involve mothers and daughters in direct service to and support of established philanthropic organizations. To further this purpose, mothers actively nurture the training of their daughters in philanthropic commitments, teaching personal responsibility, as well as responsibility to the needs of others, so that all members may fully realize the benefits of involvement in the community.
MADCAPS fulfills its mission by receiving generous support from community members like you.
History
MADCAPS was established in 1960, when a group of 27 mothers met to consider forming a mothers’ and daughters’ organization to support local philanthropies. On September 17, 1960, MADCAPS made its debut at a tea for 50 charter members and their daughters. To date, MADCAPS has distributed over $1,060,000 to local charities, and completed thousands of hours of direct community service. For more about the history of Madcaps and our benefit show, see
