How can you help?
We are currently creating a GoFundMe for IMA.
Isthmus Montessori Academy was founded as a non-profit incorporation in the state of Wisconsin. IMA’s Board of Directors envisions a school that will grow with its first students and the extraordinary diversity of Madison’s population. Tuition will be kept reasonable and scholarship funds will be made available as soon as it is possible. The Academy is constantly seeking grants and other funding but still depends on donations, gifts, and endowments.
Maintaining the classrooms, building, and grounds incurs constant expense. Isthmus Montessori Academy needs and welcomes your contributions, whether monetary, material, or in the form of time and talent.
IMA is located at 1802 Pankratz Street, on Madison’s Northeast side (near the Dane County Airport, and accessible by Madison Metro bus). Any funds will be allocated to the Finnegan Ringdroski Memorial Scholarship Fund, general funds, maintaining and updating our school building, school supplies, and other build-out costs. If required by donors or advocates of the organization, IMA’s EIN is 45-4480175.
