The MSNV Fund supports initiatives which allow us to deliver our MSNV mission and provide our children with a rich, diverse learning environment and high-quality Montessori education. The MSNV Fund runs from July 1-June 30 each year. We strive for 100% participation from the MSNV Board of Trustees, our faculty, staff and parent body to The MSNV Fund. From training teachers to enhancing learning materials, the MSNV Fund directly impacts students.
Your gift to The MSNV Fund makes a positive difference in your child’s experience at MSNV. As a private institution, MSNV depends on a number of sources for financial support. Gifts to The MSNV Fund allow MSNV, as an independent school, to augment the whole Montessori experience for every child at MSNV, through improvements in infrastructure, materials, teaching techniques, parent support and learning opportunities. By providing additional resources in all these areas, we provide your child with an exceptional Montessori experience.
MSNV welcomes all gifts, big or small. Making a donation to The MSNV Fund is not mandatory but it does show that you are a fully committed community member. As a community, we strive for 100% participation to send a powerful message that our entire MSNV family stands behind our mission. We hope you can make MSNV a philanthropic priority this year to show that you are choosing to support the school that you have already entrusted with your most important asset, your child. Your MSNV Fund gift should be within your means and is an incredibly important part of your commitment to the school.
Gifts can be made online or through cash, checks, credit cards, stock or securities. If you or a family member is a federal employee you can designate a gift to MSNV in the CFC. Please contact 703-992-0255.
The MSNV Fund year runs from July 1 through June 30. You may give your gift at any point during the school year. You may make a gift or pledge (to be fulfilled by June 30) by calling 703-992-0255.

If you wish to make a gift to The MSNV Fund in honor of a teacher or in memory of someone special, you may do so at anytime. MSNV will send a card to your honoree or to the family, announcing your thoughtful gift. Donors to The MSNV Fund will receive a timely acknowledgement letter to retain with their records.
Please be assured that all individual donation information is held confidential and is limited to a small group of individuals at MSNV. We only provide aggregate donor information in our Annual Report.
The MSNV Head of School in conjunction with the MSNV Board of Trustees determine the annual needs of the school based upon the objectives laid in our five-year Strategic Plan. Resources are allocated accordingly and some needs formulate our annual MSNV Fund campaign. If a gift is designated to a certain area, the gift will be used as requested. If a gift is not designated, it will go toward our area of greatest need.
