What is the North Texas Giving Day?
The North Texas Giving Day is hosted by the Communities Foundation of Texas. The Giving Day is an 18-hour online giving event designed to empower every person to give back to their community by supporting local nonprofits and causes they care about in one easy-to-use platform.
The event helps build awareness and support for nonprofits like nothing else. Since its inception in 2009, this online event has transformed from an idea to help local people give wisely, to a movement that has ignited a broad culture of community-wide giving. During North Texas Giving Day, everyone has the opportunity to be a philanthropist to build a stronger and more vibrant community. This year, the 12th annual North Texas Giving Day will be held on Thursday, September 17, 2020.
How are we going to use the proceeds?
All proceeds this year will be used for replacement costs and ongoing expenses for cleaning, sanitation, and safety due to COVID-19.
As many of our friends and family know, Montessori Episcopal School was temporarily closed in mid-March due to COVID-19 and did not re-open until June.
Unlike other organizations in North Texas, we elected to pay our entire staff for the time that we were closed. This was difficult for us, but thanks to our community, planning, and support, we were able to continue to provide a superior education within a rich, nurturing, Christian environment, following Montessori Method and philosophy, which inspire joy, enthusiasm, excitement, and confidence.
On top of that, our entire staff worked hard to implemented numerous safety and health protocols. With our shut down, and new health protocols, this placed a further burden on an already stretched budget.
This year, during the North Texas Giving Day, all our proceeds will be used to help Montessori Episcopal School recover from the effects of COVID-19.
If you’re looking for a way to help and make a difference in your community – please consider donating to our School.
