Giving to MSB

To understand the importance of fundraising at MSB, one must first understand three principles of the school’s overall financial vision
■ The school is committed to providing the very finest Montessori program for our students today and into the years ahead.
■ In order to serve the broadest spectrum of our community, we keep tuition as affordable as possible.
■ We recognize that the success of our mission depends upon attracting and retaining the very highest quality faculty and staff by offering salaries and benefits commensurate with their abilities.
How do we reconcile these apparently conflicting goals? Through effective fundraising!

The Annual Fund                           

Annual Giving provides an avenue for parents, grandparents, alumni and other friends of the school to make tax deductible contributions that directly offset operating expenses, including staff salaries and benefits. To do your part and contribute to the Annual Giving Fund, simply click the Donate button to donate electronically. Or, send a check to the school indicating Annual Fund Donation on the memo line. Once your donation is made, we will mail you a receipt for tax purposes and an Intel matching form if appropriate.

 The Annual Auction on March 10, 2012 !

The Annual Gala Auction provides revenues for financial aid, capital improvements, and risk management. Unlike the Annual Giving Fund, contributions stand outside of the operating budget.
