Matching Gifts

Many employers offer a Matching Gift Program wherein they match, double, or even triple a donor’s contribution. We encourage you to check with your employer concerning a Matching Gift Program. Participation is usually as simple as providing Pioneer Montessori School with your company’s matching gift form when you send in your own gift.

Spring Fundraiser

The Spring Fundraiser is one of the two major fundraising events (along with Annual Giving) at Pioneer Montessori School each year. This event is highly anticipated and always well attended. All families are encouraged to participate in this important and enjoyable event by volunteering, attending, bringing guests and/or donating and purchasing items. There is also an opportunity for businesses to sponsor the event. Corporate sponsorships help the school to cover the cost of the event, ensuring all funds raised go directly to the school. Businesses may, also, choose to donate directly to the school, if they prefer. Corporate sponsorships can be a valuable business strategy for corporations as donations are typically tax-deductible. It’s a win-win for the business and the school.

Jacob Henry Flower Memorial Scholarship Fund

In the fall of 2016 Lauren Jellinek Flower (Jacob’s mother) and Judy Jellinek (Jacob’s grandmother) established the endowment that will commemorate the spirit of Jacob to be forever remembered within classrooms of Pioneer Montessori School. Our intention is to provide a financial award at the beginning of the 6th grade year to all families and students completing the elementary 6-year cycle. Montessori’s cycles are the cornerstone of a 110-year tradition and are fundamental to Pioneer Montessori School’s classroom culture. In honor of Jacob’s contagious smile, heartwarming personality and the culmination of childhood, Pioneer Montessori School is privileged to carry on a legacy of commitment with a financial award for the completion of the elementary years. We are incredibly grateful to Lauren and Judy for their generous donation and are appreciative of any gift you may consider.
