The focus of our 2024 Annual Fund campaign will be the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Pioneer Valley Montessori School and the growth and success that have shaped our community. Over the past six decades, PVMS has flourished into a vibrant institution that continues to provide a nurturing and transformative education for children. As we reflect on our journey, we are committed to ensuring that this legacy of excellence continues for future generations.

This year, we are aiming to raise funds to support both the continued expansion of our programs and provide financial aid to current and prospective families. At PVMS, we believe every child deserves an education that is enriching and fulfilling, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

By contributing to our campaign, you are helping to secure the future of our school and our students. Your investment will not only support academic success but also ensure that more children have access to an exceptional Montessori education, fostering growth, creativity, and a commitment to lifelong learning.

Join us in celebrating our 60th anniversary and empowering the next generation of students to thrive and make a positive impact in the world. Together, we can build on the success of our past and create even greater opportunities for the future. Donate today to be part of this exciting next chapter!

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.

The PVMS Annual Fund Campaign officially begins on 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.
