Annual Giving

Annual Giving

The Montcrest Annual Giving campaign draws on the commitment and generosity of parents, grandparents, alum, faculty, staff and friends of the school community. It is the foundation of philanthropy at Montcrest School. While tuition covers day-to-day operations, it is your generous support through annual giving that allows us to innovate and grow. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us to provide an exceptional education and create a vibrant community.

Ways to participate in Annual Giving:

Montcrest Initiatives Fund

The Montcrest Initiatives Fund is our vital, flexible resource that allows Montcrest to respond quickly to our ever-evolving, highest-priority needs. It is the engine that supports the ambitious learning that enriches the student journey, enabling them to embark on new adventures through both curricular innovation and expansive co-curricular programming.

At Montcrest, we nurture an adventurous spirit in both students and educators — a spirit that asks, “yes, and?” What more can we explore? What new opportunities can we offer? What bold ideas can we bring to life? Your gift fuels that ambition. It supports innovative teaching, creative programming, and engaging experiences beyond the classroom — in the arts, athletics, leadership, and outdoor learning.

Recent projects, all of which contribute to a learning environment that defines our unique opportunities and ignites the spark of ambition, include:

Skateboarding   |   Music   |   Primary Art Room   |   Light & Sound

Financial Assistance

At Montcrest, we believe that bright, curious, and capable students should have access to our exceptional education, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.Through financial assistance and named bursaries like the Elaine Danson and Taber Family Bursary Funds, your gift helps us cultivate a more equitable and diverse school community.

The Elaine Danson Bursary

Named in honour of Elaine Danson, one of Montcrest’s respected former Heads of School, this bursary provides crucial support. It assists current Montcrest families whose financial situations have unexpectedly changed and welcomes new families whose child would greatly benefit from attending Montcrest but requires support to do so.

The Taber Family Bursary

Established to honour the cherished memory and enduring spirit of the Taber Family, this bursary ensures their legacy of kindness and generosity continues. Gifts to this fund provide essential financial assistance to Montcrest families and students in need.

This year, we invite your participation—of any amount—in support of Montcrest students. Our community’s generous contributions of time, expertise and financial support contribute to the unique education Montcrest offers.
