Giving
The Heart & Hand's Fund is to ensure that SMS thrives as a remarkable learning environment.
We come together as a community to work with our hands and give with our hearts. It is with great enthusiasm that Salem Montessori School introduces the Heart and Hand Fund.

As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Salem Montessori School provides a remarkable educational experience aimed at transformative learning through extraordinary teachers, beautifully crafted classroom tools, facilities that create environments for independence, and a culture rooted in guiding individuals that embody peace.
Tuition costs fund staff compensation and sustain the current facilities.
The Heart and Hand Fund ensures that we not only sustain as a remarkable learning environment, but that we build and provide opportunities for growth, development, and accessibility.

Your financial gifts to the Heart and Hand Fund provide resources for our greatest areas of need and actively helps ensure tuition costs remain accessible to new and returning families.

The funds donated during the 2026-2027 Heart and Hand Fund will directly benefit our children, teachers, and school community THIS school year. The students, teachers, and SMS community will be nurtured and continue to thrive due to your generosity.
Our goal for the 2026-2027 Heart and Hand Fund is to gather a gift of love exceeding $40,000. Whether you donate $10 or $10,000, your contribution demonstrates commitment to this community and its long-term success.

We ask that your gift to SMS reflects your love for this remarkable learning environment and demonstrates your deeply appreciated investment in our community. Our children demonstrate what is possible by using their hearts and hands every day — we invite each member in our SMS community to deeply share with us by using their hearts and hands too!
