We are proud to announce the establishment of the AMIS Education Foundation (AMISEF). The Foundation was incorporated on September 26, 2008, and will serve as a non-profit organization dedicated to providing AMIS teacher and classroom enrichment opportunities as well as student financial aid scholarships. The AMISEF is currently in the process of receiving our 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. This allows AMISEF to secure significantly more donations – especially from corporations and other private foundations and also makes all future contributions to the foundation tax deductible.
The AMIS Education Foundation is a non-profit public charity with its own governing body and Board of Directors.
The AMISEF will be responsible for the following:
- Management and implementation of all fundraising activities for financial aid, capital expense projects (e.g. school playground enhancements), classroom enrichment (e.g. computer lab), and other needs not expressly covered by Atlanta Montessori International School (AMIS) tuition
- Identification of financial aid recipients (through its relationship with the National Association of Independent Schools’ School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSS)
- Establishment of working relationship with AMIS to continually prioritize and fund school needs
- Communication back to AMIS families as to how the funds are being spent
