City Garden Montessori’s 2025 Day of Giving – Your Gift Supports Teachers and Goes 4X Further!
From noon on Wednesday, May 21, to noon on Thursday, May 22, City Garden Montessori School will host its 24-hour Day of Giving, a powerful opportunity to support our students and community.
This year, we have an ambitious goal: $400,000! Thanks to our generous sponsors, all gifts made during this 24-hour period will be matched 4 to 1—which means a $25 donation becomes $100, and a $100 donation grows to $400!
At City Garden, we believe that abundance is possible—and necessary. An excellent, equitable Montessori education requires extraordinary educators, and we want to ensure that our teachers are supported in meaningful and lasting ways. Your Day of Giving gift will directly support increased compensation for our educators, helping us recruit, retain, and sustain the guides who nurture our children with care, curiosity, and deep commitment.
Your generosity will also support:
- Preschool Tuition Assistance
- Before and After Care Scholarships
- Wraparound Supports for Families
- Robust Special Education Services
- Montessori Training and Development
Together, we’re not just supporting a school—we’re transforming lives and reimagining what our community can be.
Your Giving Brings Extra Joy Each Hour! To keep the energy high and the generosity flowing during our 24-hour Day of Giving, we’ve added something special: hourly surprises for our incredible supporters!Throughout the campaign, we’ll be celebrating donors with exciting gifts and experiences—think local treasures, unique moments, and City Garden-inspired goodies. Each hour brings a new opportunity to be surprised and delighted, simply for making a gift that supports our children and their futures.
Every hour. A new spark. A new surprise. Keep an eye out for the full prize lineup—and consider when your moment to give might be. Because your support doesn’t just make a difference… it might come with a little extra joy too.
