The Heart of Jarrow Annual Fund is critical to providing added revenue for our operational budget which our tuition does not fully cover. We have made it a priority to keep our tuition increases minimal because we believe that keeping tuition affordable allows more families to join our community who might not otherwise be able to do so. Your donation provides opportunities for families who may need financial assistance, and ensures our faculty are given annual pay increases which they richly deserve in addition to supporting continued maintenance of our facilities and grounds.
The operational gap, and our fundraising goal this school year, is $117,000. This amounts to $690 per child.
Whether you’re able to donate this amount, less, or more, your donation is greatly appreciated and counted towards our goal of 100% community participation.
Jarrow is a registered 501(c)(3), therefore all donations to Jarrow are federally recognized charitable contributions and are eligible for tax benefits.
As we celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we are reminded of the generosity of the families that came before us. Their gifts have shaped the school we know and benefit from today. Our incredible faculty (some who have been with us for over 35 years) and our campus are all due, in no small part, to a long-standing tradition of community support. Thank you for doing your part to continue this tradition and to keep Jarrow thriving for generations to come!
Jarrow is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so all donations are recognized as charitable contributions. The Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit may all you to give twice what you normally would, because you could be eligible to take 50% of your donation as a tax credit on your income taxes. Please click contribution credit for more information. As always, please consult your tax advisor as every situation varies.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at shannon.marth@jarrow.org.
Thank you,

Why Give?
At Jarrow, we maintain an intentional gap between the cost of tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. This allows us to offer moderate tuitions AND provide the highest quality Montessori education. Your gift will directly support our beautiful learning environments, special programs, faculty development, and tuition assistance.
Through the years, we have been proud to count alumni, trustees, parents, family members, grandparents, extended family members, and the entire staff of Jarrow as the heartbeat of the Jarrow Annual Fund’s success. We ask that you join us this year to help us surpass our fundraising goals and exceed our dreams.
How Much?
It is our sincere hope that you will make a gift that is meaningful for your family, and that makes you feel great about supporting the school that we love. Our projected gap between education each child and our budget is approximately $690. You can make your donation as a small reoccurring gift that adds up (monthly, quarterly, or annually) or as a one-time gift.
When?
The Heart of Jarrow Fund runs for our entire fiscal year, August 1 - July 31. However, our goal is to have 100% community participation before the end of this calendar year! Although our campaign kicks off in the fall, we accept donations at any time of the year.
Thank You In Advance!
As you think about giving to Jarrow, we ask you to consider the ripple effect of a generous gift, and how it could make the difference for your child, for your family, and our entire community. Your participation, in any way, is meaningful and greatly appreciated.
