Donor History

 

 

From 2000-2023

Montessori Development Partnerships (MDP) develops and incubates new projects, programs, and initiatives within the Montessori community.  MDP supports each new project by promoting its growth, providing needed resources, and fostering a sustainable model for each to function independently.  Before a project becomes independent, MDP helps to raise the funds needed to sustain it.  While the listed donors have donated funds expressly to the project under which their names are listed, these gifts also represent the efforts of MDP in developing a sustainable model for the project’s growth.  Individual personal donors listed here represent those who have given major gifts.
