Annual Fund
The Annual Fund supports our annual operating needs. These gifts assist us in continuing our tradition of providing a high quality education for the children of Chicago. All gifts to the annual fund are tax-deductible.
Unrestricted Donations: Your "unrestricted" gift provides Montessori materials and programs, a comfortable learning environment, security and emergency systems, technology expenses, books, insurance, staff salaries and benefits, daily building maintenance and cleaning, and so much.
Temporary Restricted Donations: Your "temporary restricted" gifts are given to areas you are especially interested in such as Math, Art, Music, Montessori materials, specific programs, etc. for which you can designate at time of your donation.
RECURRING GIFTS:
If you would like to make a gift on an ongoing basis, or make regularly scheduled pledge payments, you may do so conveniently through our Recurring Gift program. Recurring gifts can be completed through your credit card or you may set-up automated payment by check at your bank.
PARENT ANNUAL FUND AGREEMENT:
By enrolling a child into RPMS, a parent recognizes the responsibility to assist with the on-going costs of educating their child. The annual parent pledge to the Annual Fund is a minimum of $500 per year.
