Annual Appeal – We Need You!
Attention Hammer families! Our Annual Appeal is at only 20% of our goal, and we need your support to ensure that our students continue to benefit from vital programs and resources. Assemblies, field trips, Starting Arts, teacher supplies, the garden, playground equipment, and so much more depend on these funds. Without YOUR contribution, we won't be able to sustain these opportunities for our students.
The Annual Appeal is open until December 31, 2024. Remember, the Hammer Montessori Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so corporate matching is allowed! If your employer offers corporate matching, this is a fantastic way to double your impact.
Our Annual Appeal in the fall and the Walk-a-Thon in the spring are our two primary fundraisers. Please help us give Hammer students the best possible school experience!
Action Items:
- Donate today through this Link.
- Check if your employer offers corporate matching!
