Little Voyageurs Montessori School (LVMS) relies on support from the families of LVMS students and members of the community. There are many ways you can support our community -- from volunteering your time, participating in employer matching programs, or including LVMS in your estate plan. Through your donations, you support life-long learning and the success of children.

Ways to Support

Participate in Employer Match Initiatives

Many companies have employer matching initiatives. Don't pass up the opportunities to donate to LVMS for a tax write-off and have your employer match your donation.

Employee Giving Programs
Thank you to parents and alumni that give through their employee giving programs. Programs include Benevity Community Impact Fund, Greater Twin City United Way, YourCause, Medtronic Foundation, and Wells Fargo Foundation Funds.

Gifts in Remembrance

A bench was donated "In memory of Steve Hokanson", who loved his grandsons and felt very blessed they were able to attend such an incredible school with amazing teachers and caregivers. His message to all was: "Be Smart, Be Nice and Be Kind to those who are different from you."

LVMS has received a very generous donation from one of our alumni, Allison Kahl (Jensen), in loving memory of her mother Patricia Lucille Dugger. Patricia passed away May 24, 2014. She was a strong supporter of LVMS. With this donation, Allison wants to honor her mother and express her gratitude for enrolling her in LVMS.
