The focus of our 2023 Annual Fund campaign will be on providing financial aid to current and prospective families. At Pioneer Valley Montessori School it is our belief that every child deserves an education that is nurturing and fulfilling, regardless of their socioeconomical status. This current school year, PVMS was able to gift over $100,000 in financial assistance to our families. It is our goal to provide financial assistance to a child from each program year after year.

Investing in our students' education is investing in the future of our society. By providing financial assistance to a child from each program, you are not only supporting their academic success but also contributing to a more equitable and just world. Your generosity will help us provide an exceptional education for our students and create new opportunities for those who may not have access to it otherwise.

Join us in this mission of creating a better future by donating today. Together, we can empower the next generation to achieve their full potential and make a positive impact on the world.

Like most non-profit private schools, donations play a significant role in our PVMS community. Our programmatic costs exceed tuition revenue, and our generous contributors help assist in the disparity between the tuition and actual costs of providing the PVMS standard of education. Annually, we ask our families, faculty, alumni, and local community to show their support for the fiscally strong future of PVMS. With the Montessori philosophy being deeply rooted in the acts of care and giving, your contribution also sends a message of support and trust in the Pioneer Valley Montessori School mission.

Our campaign primarily supports financial aid, as we strive to provide equal opportunities for all. Help us empower future leaders and break financial barriers for academic success. Our goal is to provide financial assistance to a child from each program year after year. It is through your generosity that we can provide an exceptional education to all our students, as well as open the door of opportunity for new ones! Gifts of any denomination make an impact and we encourage members of our school community to give a contribution that is meaningful to their family.

The PVMS Annual Fund Campaign officially begins on November 28th, Giving Tuesday. This is the international day of giving and is a day that has been recognized as a "global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world".

Your employer could potentially double the effect of your contribution. Please consider speaking with your company’s HR department to see if this is an option for you.

Generally, itemizers can deduct 20% to 60% of their adjusted gross income for charitable donations. The exact percentage depends on the type of qualified contribution as well as the charity or organization. PVMS is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization.
