Meerkats may be small, but they've got GREAT BIG HEARTS!
Show your love for the entire Morehead Montessori community! Please consider making a donation of $165 (or more!) for each Meerkat in your family - but no amount is too small to help.
The Morehead Montessori PTA hopes to raise $50,000 to fund seven initiatives that benefit the whole school community during the 2025-2026 school year.
Are donations are tax deductible? Yes! The Morehead Montessori PTA tax ID is 56-1392323.
How'd we do last year? MeerStart 2024 was the first attempt at a big fundraising effort early in the school year. The generosity of the community set up incredible success for the 2024-25 year. Check out this document for the specific results.
Why am I being asked about a "tip" during checkout? Givebacks, the fundraising platform, collects money during checkout to support itself. All "tips" go directly to Givebacks. Feel free to set the tip to $0 and do not feel guilty about it!
Can I write a check instead? Yes, absolutely! Checks can be mailed to Morehead Montessori PTA, 909 Cobb St, Durham, NC 27707 or dropped off in PTA mailbox in the school's main office.
