Want to give in support of our program?
Our entire organization is a tuition assistance program, where tuition revenue never covers the cost of annual expenses. As a small nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of families and supporters. Help us provide high-quality materials by supporting our ongoing classroom material needs through some of the wish lists included on this page or through a regular or one-time donation.
Have Montessori materials that need a home?
Dust off those items and get them out of storage because FMS accepts any and all Montessori materials in any condition or even if incomplete! What FMS won’t use we will pass on to others - we are well connected to the Montessori community in Virginia and our School Director is a board member with the Virginia Montessori Association!
Contact us with any questions or to discuss your material donation at info@fultonmontessori.com - donation receipts provided upon request.
People like you are what keeps our organization affordable and supports the continuity of care for our hard working families here in Richmond’s East End and surrounding communities!
