You can make a difference

Annual Fund

Every Gift Matters

As a nonprofit organization, Desert Sky Montessori is able to receive tax-deductible contributions to supplement our annual operating budget. These contributions help offset the gap in state funding, support our students and staff across all programs, and provide financial stability to make Desert Sky a more valuable experience for the entire community while keeping the school tuition-free.

Your contribution makes the difference between a great educational experience and an outstanding one!
