Ways to Support Daycroft Montessori School

Independent education thrives because of the generosity of individuals. At Daycroft, significant financial support and active volunteering serve to strengthen the ideals pursued by our students and faculty. We are proud of the involved, philanthropic spirit of the Daycroft community, and we are deeply grateful to all whose support makes our school’s vision a reality.

Volunteering Opportunities

“As parents who believe strongly in the Montessori method, we feel we cannot do better for our children.”

Annual Giving

The funds we raise through Daycroft’s Annual Giving campaign are critical to sustaining our exceptional educational experience. These funds help bridge the gap between tuition revenues and our actual cost of operations.

Gifts to the Annual Giving campaign come from Daycroft board members, staff, alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends. We ask Daycroft parents to give at whatever level they can afford. These donations are tax-deductible.

Endowment for Tuition Assistance

Daycroft’s Endowment for Tuition Assistance enables the school to help with the cost of tuition for families who demonstrate need. The fund is held and managed by The Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation, and gifts are made directly to the foundation. These donations qualify for the State of Michigan tax credit and are deductible on federal tax returns.
