Friends of Dater Montessori (FODM) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to fundraising for Dater Montessori Elementary School. Since its inception in February 1995, FODM’s mission has been to promote growth among all Dater Montessori members by raising funds for supplies, activities, and experiences. We believe in the power of collaboration and community engagement. Together, with Dater Family Teacher Network, we organize fundraising events throughout the year. Then, FODM’s board of caregivers, educators, and community members collaborate on budgeting and dispersing funds in a meaningful and equitable manner. We are united to share commitment to enhancing the educational experience at Dater Montessori.
