I am truly grateful to be selected as a recipient of the BMEF Educational Capital grant. This support affirms the work we are doing at Horizon Learning and gives me the encouragement to continue building a learning environment where children can grow with confidence and purpose.

The application process was clear and thoughtful, and I deeply appreciate the opportunity to share my vision through it. Being selected as a winner not only provides needed resources but also strengthens my commitment to cultivating authentic Montessori experiences for the children and families I serve. Thank you for investing in this work and for the role you play in expanding access to Montessori education in our communities.

The Black Montessori Education Fund has been there for me as a small, Montessori school. First, the BMEF helped us get materials shipped from a retired Montessorian. Now, we received a grant for a fence. I am truly grateful for your support.

Receiving this grant is both an honor and a responsibility. It reaffirms our commitment to this work and provides us with the resources needed to move closer to our goal. We are deeply grateful for the support and look forward to continuing to collaborate with educators, families, and organizations who share our dedication to equity, excellence, and opportunity for all children.

I am grateful to receive this grant from the Black Montessori Education Fund to purchase much-needed classroom supplies. This support will help strengthen our learning environment and ensure our students have access to high-quality materials that support their curiosity and growth.

As an educator deeply committed to equity in education, I launched a tutoring program that blends academic math support with social-emotional learning for elementary students in Washington, DC. What began as a pilot has evolved into a vibrant community experience—complete with cultural outings, dance classes, and math-themed celebrations like Pi Day.

Now, with the support of this funding, we are taking the next step: creating an Interactive Math Corner where students can explore math through cooking, movement, music, art, games, and hands-on projects. This funding will directly impact our ability to make math accessible, joyful, and relevant—showing students that learning can be powerful and playful at the same time.

We are truly grateful for BMEF’s support. We're excited to continue watching our children thrive through their Montessori education and look forward to sharing Brooklyn and Kiyan’s growth along the way. Again, thank you, and God bless. As our financial situation improves, we’re committed to paying it forward to support other families in the future.

We are honored and deeply grateful to be selected for this scholarship, which will help support my son’s Montessori education. As a single mother, this financial assistance lightens a significant burden and allows me to focus on providing him with a strong foundation during these formative years. The application process was very clear and straightforward, and I appreciated the thoughtful consideration given to each applicant. Thank you sincerely for this meaningful opportunity. I’m so grateful to be part of a community that values montessori education and black families and I'm looking forward to connecting more with BMEF.
