Giving Back

giving cycleGiving plays a vital role in sustaining the mission and excellence of Keystone Montessori School. Each year, we host three key fundraising campaigns that together help us meet our annual fundraising goal. Your participation in these efforts—no matter the size of your gift—directly supports our students, teachers, and programs.

 

For alumni, giving back is a meaningful way to honor your Keystone experience and ensure future generations benefit from the same thoughtful education and vibrant community that helped shape you. Every contribution strengthens the legacy of our school and keeps the spirit of Keystone alive and growing. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Melissa.

The Sustaining Fund:

With strong fiscal management at the core of our operations, fundraising dollars play a crucial role in balancing Keystone’s annual operating budget. Gifts to the Keystone Sustaining Fund go beyond day-to-day needs—they empower the school to explore new opportunities and invest in projects that benefit the entire community.

Your yearly contribution helps fund:

  • Capital improvements to enhance our campus

  • Training and development for our dedicated faculty

  • Technology upgrades to support modern learning

  • Replacement of worn classroom materials to keep learning environments fresh and engaging

You can make a one-time donation or choose to spread your gift over 10 monthly installments. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact.

 
Arizona Tax Credit:

Did you know Arizona state law (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows you to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit when you donate to an Arizona public school like Keystone? That means when you give up to $200 (single filer) or $400 (married, filing jointly), you can reduce your state tax bill by that exact amount—either as a credit or even a refund! It’s a powerful way to support our students and programs at no net cost to you. Your gift makes a difference today—and comes back to you at tax time!

Annual Fall Festival:

Alumni sponsors help honor the legacy of Keystone by supporting one of our most cherished traditions—the Fall Festival. What better way to give back than by celebrating the memories you made at this joyful event? Your sponsorship helps ensure the festival continues to be a magical experience for our current students and families. Watch for information on 2025 sponsorship opportunities—it's a wonderful chance to stay connected and make a meaningful impact!
