Donate to River's 10x10 campaign:

Support Your School

As parents we work hard to give our children the best experiences that we can. Since RMCS is a public charter school it receives fewer dollars from Federal and State sources than conventional public schools. Our goal is to bridge the gap between what the school receives and the rich educational experience we seek for our children.

Our 2020-2021 commitment is to raise $100,000.
100% of donations go toward the RMCS annual budget developed by the administration and board.

River Montessori's 10x10 Fundraiser

For the 2020-2021 school year, we're introducing a fun new way to give: the 10x10 Fundraiser!
If each student reaches out to 10 friends and family members who give $10 per month for 10 months, that's $1,000 raised by a single student! We're providing themed 10x10 activities and inspiration in the weekly Foundation Flow sent to River families.

Donate to 10x10 through the CheddarUp website:

One-time, corporate, and recurring donations can also be made through the 10x10 Web site.

Tip: ​Does your employer offer matching donations? 
Double your gift by asking your company or corporation if they'll match your contribution.

Prefer to give by check?
Write a check made out to “River Montessori Foundation” and mail to:
