What is montessori education fund, inc (mefi)?
The Montessori House Education Fund (MEFI) is a public charity 501(c) (3) organization, qualified by the IRS to receive tax-deductible bequests, devises, transfers, or gifts under the tax code.
All proceeds raised support the MEFI and funds allocated to:
- Community Outreach
- Professional Development (supplements out-of-state conferences).
- Tuition Assistance (to help bridge the financial gap during temporary hardships).
All contributions to this fund support educational services for students and faculty and are tax-deductible under section 170 of the IRS Code.
seasonal fundraisers
Special projects that spring from the minds of children and parents are fun and fulfilling pursuits. We have parent committees to assist and oversee these ventures. Occasionally a committee will ask that a spirit night or special event be held to help provide materials for projects. The purpose of each event will be clearly stated and the sponsoring committee will have oversight.
ANNUAL GIVING
Each year, the School holds an Annual Giving Campaign, accepting donations of time, talents and monitory contributions from parents, local businesses and the general public. 100% of proceeds go directly to the Montessori House Education Fund, Inc.
Through the services provided by MEFI, families, students, and teachers can receive educational benefits that would not be possible from tuition revenue only.
LEGACY WALL
The Legacy Walls were created in celebration of the inaugural year for the Elementary School building. Your child’s artwork is transferred on ceramic tiles to adorn the walls of either Montessori House for Children, and/or the Montessori House Elementary School leaving a lasting memory of your family’s experience with our School.
