The MSR Annual Fund
Why Give to The MSR Annual Fund?
The Montessori School of Raleigh was founded on the vision, dedication, and philanthropic commitment of only a handful of families who envisioned a school where children are at the center.
Today, your gift to The MSR Annual Fund honor our visionary legacy and confirms the enduring value of a school committed to preparing students to be engineers of their own fulfilling lives. The MSR Annual Fund sustains the school's excellence by providing revenue for program costs not funded by tuition.
Since 1974, The Montessori School of Raleigh has committed to a progressive and enduring education.
Today, our families make a lasting impression on students and the MSR community through the MSR Annual Fund. Please consider your own transformational gift today!
The 1974 Society
Members of The 1974 Society are among The Montessori School of Raleigh’s most generous donors. Replacing MSR’s Leadership Giving Circle, individuals in this community lead by example and inspire others to strengthen and sustain MSR’s enduring legacy.
The greatest benefit of becoming a member of The 1974 Society is knowing that you are investing in a school that has prepared young people for 50 years to be engineers of their own fulfilling lives and grow into the innovative, resilient, courageous, and collaborative leaders our world so greatly needs.

Why should I give by December 31?
Donations to The MSR Annual Fund are allocated within the school year they are given. By making your gift by December 31, MSR can most thoughtfully steward your gift and plan for the remaining months of the school year with the added tax benefits of making your gift within the calendar year.
