Giving

MSL is sustained by two primary sources of revenue: tuition and fees and contributed donations. Thanks to sound sustainable business practices, tuition and fees consistently cover 80% of the costs associated with delivering a high quality education for our students. We rely upon our generous community of parents, grandparents, friends and community partners to provide support that meets our remaining need.

Unrestricted Annual Fund Support

MSL’s cornerstone fundraising initiative is the Annual Fund. This drive is used to solicit from each family whatever financial gift is feasible within its personal situation. Any contribution is meaningful. MSL is respectful of the fact that some families may not be able to contribute the suggested per family annual donation of $250. That is why we encourage each family to reach out to relatives and friends who also have an interest in MSL’s success. This may include grandparents, friends who are considering MSL as an option, corporate partners, or those who simply want to see MSL thrive in the Louisville community.

Your Annual Fund Gift makes a difference by supporting:

  • our focus on academic excellence
  • competitive salaries and benefits to attract and retain the best possible faculty
  • classrooms equipped with state-of-the art educational tools, from projection systems to language lab materials
  • advanced technology initiatives at the school
  • community service initiatives and programs
  • professional development and leadership opportunities
  • a vibrant, diverse community
  • a beautiful campus and facilities


To diagram the impact of your generous support, contributions to the Annual Fund may achieve the following:

  • $70 – Full cost of teaching one student for one day
  • $140 – Covers the difference between tuition and full cost of each child’s education for two weeks
  • $985 – Covers the School’s utility expenses for one month
  • $2,520 – Covers the difference between tuition and full cost of each child’s education for one year


Montessori School of Louisville encourages Annual Fund pledge commitments to support the fundraising activities of the school. Pledges to the Annual Fund must be paid by June 30th each year.

Matching Gifts

Many companies match their employees’ donations to registered non-profit organizations such as Montessori School of Louisville. If your employer provides matching donations, please let us know when you make your gift. This is an easy way to double your donation to MSL.


All you will need to do is to mail in your company’s matching contribution form with your employment identification. We will provide the details on tax deductible donations to MSL (all donations are tax-deductible under Section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code).


Don’t know if your company matches gifts? Contact your HR department to share the benefits of donating.


Building for the Future

A capital campaign is a special effort to raise funds for long-range purposes, such as building projects and endowment. This is distinct from our Annual Fund Drive and school PTO fundraisers. MSL’s current students, as well as future students, benefit from capital campaigns. Donors should view their donations as an investment in MSL’s long term mission and vision. During a capital campaign, families are encouraged to continue to donate to the Annual Fund which supports ongoing academic programs at MSL.


Planned Gifts

Planned gifts recognize your belief in the future of Montessori School of Louisville and the desire to support Montessori education for future generations. By including MSL in your estate planning through a bequest, life insurance policy, fund, trust or other planned gift, members of community have the opportunity to impact the future.


Support for Designated Programs

Gifts may be directed to a designated area of interest, program, or learning environment.


Volunteer

Montessori School of Louisville also treasures the time and talent within our community. Parents are provided opportunities to donate their time and talent in many ways: volunteering with material making or serving on a committee, as a room advisor, field trip chaperone, reading volunteer, and more. We believe “it takes a village to raise a child” and welcome the partnership between home and school.
