Giving Programs
Annual Campaign
The CVMS Annual Campaign directly benefits the children enrolled at Cedar Valley Montessori by keeping tuition affordable for more families and enhancing and expanding programs. Gifts to the CVMS Annual Fund provide vital, unrestricted dollars that enable CVMS teachers to attend trainings and conferences, allow for the purchase of classroom materials, and ensure that capital and building improvements are completed that facilitate institutional growth and vitality.
In addition, support for the Annual Campaign provides tangible proof of our shared commitment to CVMS that we can share with external foundations and businesses that we may approach for grants and other support. Annual Campaign funds help CVMS meet the needs and talents of each child as a unique person. With your gift, you help change the world for CVMS students. We thank you for your investment!
Endowment Campaign
New to CVMS in the 2015-2016 is the Endowment Campaign. Permanent endowments assure a constant source of funding, both today and in the future. Giving to Cedar Valley Montessori School’s endowment is a part of the long-term strategic plan.
Your endowment gift can support what matters most to you at CVMS, both now and for generations to come. Only a portion of an endowment’s earnings are used every year for the cause determined by the donor.
For more information on the CVMS Endowment Campaign, contact Head of School.
