You can accept your mission by taking action on Giving Tuesday, November 27th.
Join us for this global movement honoring charity. It’s an easy way to do something small that means big things:

Invite your network to join you in supporting our school on Giving Tuesday
Take part! Give back with a gift that is meanful for you.
By supporting Lewis & Clark Montessori Public Charter School, you are empowering students today and engendering leaders of tomorrow.
You already know it costs money to sustain this beautiful community where amazing individual children learn and grow each day. In fact, your support helps to make up the 20% difference between the public state funds we receive and the true cost of our program for the benefit of our entire community.
Together, how much impact can we make in 24 hours?
There's power in numbers. We need you to tell your friends and family members about the important work we do and ask them to join you in helping to make a difference.
Spreading the word will help you increase your impact by making us eligible for two valuable matches:
1. A goal reaching match ($3,500) offered by a group of our loyal donors when we reach $12,000 on GivingTuesday.
2. A Facebook & Paypal match (up to $250,000) for super early bird donors who give through the donate button on our Facebook page starting at 5 am PT on Tuesday, November 27th.
On GivingTuesday we hope to:
Raise over $12,000
Add 25 new monthly donors to our annual Meriwether Fund Circle of Champions

Make it monthly: join our Circle of Champions at $15/month or more

Your support is vital and purposeful.
Lewis & Clark Montessori is a place where you connect and engage, too. Team up with us for 24 hours on November 27th to take a big bite out of our $70,000 Meriwether Fund goal.
Remember: a dollar a day or $30 a month per family gets us to our goal.
Your gift to the Meriwether Fund helps us do what we do and underwrites all aspects of our program. Large or small, here's how your contribution makes a big difference in a child's day:
- $75 – provides pencils for one month
- $125 - one day of bus service
- $300 - one day of rent in our facility
- $600 – one day of student electives - music, world languages, theater arts, and more
- $1,200 – 5 new ChromeBooks for student use
- $1,500 - fills “the gap” for one child for the year
- $2,500 - provides 3 school days of educational materials for all students
- $5,000 - one day of teacher compensation, school-wide
Get ready to give! Mark November 27th on your calendar and do something big for our school and community.
