Peggy the piggy bank with dates for this year's Day of Giving

24 Hours. 4X the Impact.

$425,000 for City Garden.

Day of Giving is more than a fundraiser.

It’s a 24-hour rally of belief in children, educators, and what equitable Montessori education makes possible. From noon on Wednesday, April 15, to noon on Thursday, April 16, our entire City Garden community will come together to fuel opportunity, belonging, and excellence. And this year, every gift works harder than ever before.

Your Gift Is Matched 4-to-1

For 24 hours only, every donation is matched 4-to-1 thanks to a generous group of sponsors.
