Sanford Jones Fund for the Arts

The Sanford Jones Fund for the Arts provides AMI/USA members with the opportunity to expand on arts related activities in their Montessori environments.

Grant awards may be used to purchase art materials, art history materials, musical instruments, songbooks, costumes and set decorations. Grants may also be used to attend professional development workshops. Requests for amounts from $100 to $400 will be considered. Funding for these grants is made possible by the generous support of AMI/USA members and friends.

Tim Nee Relief Fund

In January of 2025, AMI/USA formally established a disaster relief fund and policy that allowed us to readily respond to the recent California wildfire victims and potential sufferers of future disasters. We are approaching this endeavor with the same fervor and dedication as our former colleague, the late Tim Nee. Tim was a tireless Montessori educator and administrator, a dedicated AMI/USA Board Member, a champion of children’s rights, and strongly held the belief that difficult obstacles can be overcome to provide students and families with a safe and high-quality education. Therefore, we are proud to introduce the duly named Tim Nee Relief Fund.
