Learn about our current grant awardees
Our grant committee recently spent more than three hours reviewing grant applications, several of which were requesting funds for Montessori materials. Prior to our meetings, our volunteer liaisons as well as board members did a deep dive on each application, usually taking several hours on each application.
Every donation is tax deductible.
Give to Montessori Global Growth Fund (MGGF) to help us send Montessori materials to under-resourced communities.
Grants awarded by MGGF have helped under-resourced communities build a future for their children. We believe every child deserves a child-centered education. Through our grants we have helped Montessori initiatives in cities, villages, and even desolate pastoral communities across the globe.
Explore our website to learn about grants that have helped to acquire Montessori materials for Que la Joie Demeure Montessori School in Véronne, France, and to train a primary teacher for the pastoral peoples of East Pokot, Kenya. She’s also making her own Montessori materials because shipping manufactured materials is not feasible.
All these grants have aided marginalized communities build strong educational foundations for their students.
