Annual Fund

Together we thrive.

Together we grow.
To provide children with the space to continue their quest for knowledge, understanding, and discovery, The Montessori School of the Berkshires needs your help. Contributions from all members of the MSB community – current parents, alumni/ae and their parents, faculty and staff, grandparents, friends, foundations and corporations – are greatly appreciated. Every gift is important, as we strive to instill a culture of generosity, community, and participation at our school, and we encourage every member of our school community contribute to the Annual Fund in a way that is meaningful to them.
  • Why Give?

    Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a child’s education at MSB. Gifts to the Annual Fund allow MSB to keep tuition affordable and provide the highest quality Montessori education possible. Our donors enhance the day-to-day life of every student and teacher by supporting a variety of programs including academics, staff development, specialist classes, field trips and events, and the financial aid pool.

  • Who Gives?

    Contributions from all members of the MSB community —current parents, alumni/ae and their parents, faculty and staff, grandparents, friends, foundations and corporations—are greatly appreciated. Every gift is important, and gifts of any size make a difference in the life of every MSB student.

  • Why Does My Participation Matter?

    Not only does 100% participation from our current families send a strong message to our children about the importance of philanthropy, grant applications to outside sources are bolstered by strong support from those closest to us. We encourage every member of our school community contribute to the Annual Fund in a way that is meaningful to their family, as gifts every size help us meet our goals. Together we can instill a culture of generosity and participation in our community.

  • How Can I Help?

    Gifts can be made with a one-time payment or pledged and paid incrementally throughout the year - visit our Ways to Give page to learn more. You can also help the Annual Fund by volunteering. Contact our Development Coordinator, Sarah Ober, for more information.
