Since the school began, we have had generous donations from families to cover the cost of one or more of these programs: art program, music program, Mount Baker theater performances, outdoor education. Parents have also donated to the budget in general. These gifts have been very much appreciated and, in some cases, without them we would have had to eliminate or limit our participation in these programs.

Cedar Tree Montessori School is a state and federal nonprofit institution. This means that any profits are channeled back into the school. Any time you make a donation to Cedar Tree, you can request a receipt and deduct the amount on your taxes. Our nonprofit tax number, as granted under section 501 (c) (3) of the federal tax code, is 91-1953-283. The school writes a letter of acknowledgement for your tax files. We also send a very happy thank you card expressing our gratitude for your donation.

As a nonprofit organization, we are eligible for grants from other nonprofit agencies. If you would like to write a grant for a particular project or subject or know of grants available to private schools, please let us know.
