The Montessori School of Champaign-Urbana needs support to continue its nearly 60-year mission to educate the children in our community.

Long range planning and expansion, teacher development, technology enhancement, literacy centers, and other programs require resources beyond our general operational expenses. If you or someone in your life has benefited from the work we do at the Montessori School of Champaign-Urbana, please help us continue our efforts by making a tax-deductible gift. If you would like to make your gift in honor or in memory of a special person—such as a former teacher or student—please provide that information in the memo line of your check. We will send the person(s) specified a note, telling them of your kind gesture; however, the amount of your gift will not be shared.

The Montessori School of Champaign-Urbana is a non-profit and donations are tax-deductible. We request that donations be made either via the new Zeffy online platform¹ or by check to the school as this avoids credit/debit card service fees being taken out of your generous gift. Please make any checks payable to MSCU, and mail it to:

Montessori School of Champaign-Urbana
1403 Regency Drive East
Savoy, IL 61874

¹As of October 2023, MSCU has discovered another way to receive donations. Zeffy is an online platform built for non-profits to keep all donations free from service fees and taxes. Simply click on the button below to take advantage of this new opportunity to give.
