Give Today


Like all independent schools, MSLF relies on contributions from its community to bring alive our mission and vision.

Give Today

Financial contributions allow MSLF to direct funds to educational initiatives and enrichment programs. MSLF’s Annual Giving Campaign represents one of the opportunities for contribution. In addition, we welcome everyone in the MSLF community to make a gift to honor or remember a loved one.


Your kind contribution allows children to reach their full potential here at MSLF via funding necessary capital improvements, supplying classrooms with superior materials and supplies, providing continuing education opportunities for our outstanding faculty, and offering financial aid to qualified families. All donations are tax-deductible, and we very much appreciate your donation.

  • Paying by check

    Please make checks payable to the Montessori School of Lake Forest and mail to our Administrative Director, Teresa Pavelich, at 13700 W. Laurel Drive, Lake Forest, IL, 60045.


  • Gift of Stock

    Making a gift of stock offers you the chance to help MSLF while realizing many important benefits for yourself. A stock portfolio is often among the most valuable assets you own, and one that carries a substantial capital gains tax. With careful planning, you can reduce or even avoid federal capital gains tax by gifting stock to our school. Because of our nonprofit status, MSLF does not pay a capital gains tax when we sell the gifted stock.


    Please contact Tiffany Natale in our Business Office with additional questions.
