Why Give?
We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.
- Maria Montessori
At The Village School, “Giving ” is about strengthening our school community and enhancing the quality of our programs and services. Our Advancement Department and Committee works to ensure that our school’s directors and faculty have the resources and materials they need to meet the needs of our students by raising money.
Through donations and support we are able to keep tuition more affordable than comparable independent schools and within reach of a diverse population.
Donations come from current and alumni Village School families, Family Foundations, Corporate Matching Gifts, through the Annual Auction and other fundraising events. This generous support has enabled us to improve our facility, reduce our debt service, continue special cultural assemblies and teacher workshops, purchase classroom materials and equipment, grow our endowment, and support the school’s financial aid program.
All families are encouraged to donate to the Annual Fund as % participation is important when applying for grants from organizations.
