Get Involved
We are looking for 150 individuals to become an esteemed group of Montessori supporters and contribute $150 in honor of Maria Montessori’s contributions to humankind. We’ve partnered with local governments and groups in Italy, and a portion of each donation will go toward restoring the original observation room Dr. Montessori designed for your use in her teacher education work, located in Perugia, Italy. The city of Perugia will build a statue of Dr. Maria Montessori to coincide with her 150th birthday in 2020, and a portion of your donation will also fund this project.
Your contribution will help us honor, restore, build, and advance Dr. Montessori’s legacy—and identify you as a champion of that legacy!
Be a Champion
With your contribution of $150, you will signal to the world that you are a champion of Dr. Montessori’s legacy. You will be recognized in our upcoming commemorative edition of Montessori Life magazine (summer 2020), dedicated to 150 years of Maria Montessori; on our website; and in our FY20 Annual Report (publication spring 2021).
You will also receive a limited edition AMS Mission tote bag and an exclusive Montessori Champion lapel pin to help you tout your support.
