What is the ANNUAL FUND?
The Montrose School Annual Fund supports every facet of a Montrose education. Many are unaware that tuition revenue alone is not enough to cover the school's annual operating expenses. Gifts to the Annual Fund help to close this gap, which amounts to approximately $5,900 per student in a given year.
Many are also unaware that their gift of any amount has the potential to unlock support from foundations and major benefactors who take into consideration Annual Fund participation numbers when revieweing grant applications. Your support, of any amount, has an impact and ensures we can provide essential student and faculty programs.

“What we love most about Montrose is the welcoming and inclusive parent and student environment. This really sets Montrose apart from other schools. Montrose truly calls girls to greatness in a way that is unique to every student, and we have seen our daughter Kenzie blossom in ways we would have never imagined.
We encourage families to consider making the School one of their philanthropic priorities.”
