To provide children with the space and place to continue their quest for knowledge, understanding, and discovery, The Montessori School of the Berkshires needs your help. Like most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a child’s education at MSB, and gifts to the annual fund allow MSB to bridge the budget gap, keep tuition affordable and provide the highest quality Montessori education possible.

Each September we launch annual appeal as part of our Building Strong Foundations Annual Campaign. Parents receive an annual appeal letter, with the goal of 100% participation. We recognize that every contribution counts! There are many different ways in which gifts in support of MSB may be made:

· Cash Gifts are fully tax-deductible and can be sent to:
Montessori School of the Berkshires
PO Box 422
Lenox Dale, MA 01242

· Gifts of Stock
With a gift of appreciated securities instead of cash, you can qualify for a tax-deduction based on the fair market value of the stock if you have held it for a year or more. For instructions on how your broker can transfer your stock to the school, please contact Todd Covert, Head of School at

· Matching Gifts
Companies will often match or multiply gifts made by employees and retirees. Please keep this in mind when you make a gift to MSB and consult with your employer’s personnel department to find out whether your employer offers a Matching Gifts program.

Our annual giving ends in May. You may download a pledge form or donate now. We are so grateful for your support and commitment to individualized, quality education that focuses on the whole child.
