Fundraising

APM is a public elementary school and part of the Appleton Area School District. While the school receives taxpayer dollars, we also rely on the generosity of parents, grandparents, friends, and community members to provide the funds necessary to make APM truly exceptional. We are appreciative of all donations. Your tax-deductible gift can be made via check, credit card, or securities. Be sure to check with your employer to see if your gift can be matched.

Endowment Fund

Give to the Endowment Fund

To celebrate Appleton Education Foundation’s 20 years of creatively enhancing education in our community, the Foundation is helping six AASD schools build permanent endowment funds. This endowment building campaign benefits current and future students of the selected schools.

Gifts received before March 31, 2018 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $6,000/school ($5,000/school must be raised to receive the match). 

Please select Appleton Public Montessori from the drop down or you can drop off checks at school made out to APMA with a note “for Endowment.”
