Hello MAM Families!
Fall Giving Week is STILL HERE!!! We are very thankful for all the support we received so far!
The MAM community depends on your financial support this week to provide professional development and discretionary funds to our teachers, maintain our beautiful rain garden, sustain virtual enrichment activities such as the Chess Club and Food Right Cooking Club, and more! Doubling our efforts couldn’t be easier with this year’s Fall Giving Campaign. Don’t forget to check out our MAM Community page on Facebook to keep up with the rest of this week’s giving activities!
Thursday 11/17 | Thankful Thursday
2022 has continued to throw us some curve balls, but there’s still so much to be thankful for. The MAM Fund is especially thankful for our wonderful school, engaged families, and supportive community. What are you thankful for? We encouragement social media posts on the MAM Community Facebook page with the hashtag #MAMThankfulThursday and children can write letters to teachers and staff to say thank you!
Friday 11/18 | Celebration Party
Let’s party and dance! At drop-off and maybe pick-up too, watch out for us FUNder’s and some “special” guest star appearances!!!
Matching for Maryland
Through the generosity of several MAM families and community businesses, all donations to the Maryland Avenue Montessori Fund during Fall Giving Week will be matched up to a pledged amount. No amount is too small! Invite your friends and family to support our school as well, and they will be happy to know that their efforts will have a double impact! If you are interested in becoming a matching family, please contact the fund at fundmam@gmail.com.
Here’s how you can make your tax deductible donation:
- Online (preferred!): click on the DONATE button on the MAM FUND webpage at www.mamfund.org
- Check: Return a CHECK made out to MPS Foundation with memo MAM FUND to school in the provided envelope.
- Triple Match: check out the attached non-exhaustive list of Milwaukee area companies that match donations – perhaps yours is one of them! Check with your employer if you don’t see them on the list, they still may provide a match. If so, your donation could be TRIPLED!
Corporate Giving Programs
Many corporations feel a sense of responsibility to give back. The following corporations have either direct giving programs, foundations, sponsorship programs, in-kind donations, product donations, volunteer programs, or matching gift programs.

If you don’t see your company on this list, but believe it should be, please let us know so we can share it with the community! If you aren’t certain, check with your HR department!
Thank you for investing in our children and our teachers!
In gratitude,
