Expand Access to Quality Montessori Education
Grants can fund a wide range of activities and Montessori programs. With grant funding, you can develop new projects, launch initiatives, and offer scholarships, making Montessori education more accessible to children and families.
Support Teacher Course & Professional Development
Grants provide funding for educator Course, workshops, and certification programs. This will help you and your team enhance your skills, improve classroom practices, and uphold the highest standards in Montessori pedagogy.
Enhance Learning Environments & Resources
Grants enable you to upgrade facilities, purchase authentic Montessori materials, invest in technology, and support community outreach. These resources will help you create the best possible learning environment for children.

Plamena – Your Guide to the World of Grants
"Grants can feel overwhelming—so many rules, deadlines, and fine print. But that’s just the surface.
At the end of the day, grants are a tool. A tool to make things happen—to bring your ideas to life, one step at a time.
I’m Plamena, the Grants Coordinator at Montessori Institute Prague. I’ve written five large, successful grants, and right now, I oversee two exciting funded projects: The Bilingual Project and The Citizen of the world.
Since joining MIP, I’ve been on a mission to build a network of schools and Montessori organizations ready to co-write grant applications together. I know the process inside and out, and I want to make it as easy and stress-free as possible for you.
I have seen how grants changed my own professional path and brought it to a next level.
Let’s do this together.
With Mirka and myself guiding you, you won’t just learn about grants, I’ll be there with you through the process and beyond, so we can celebrate the joy of success together."

Mirka – Turning Grant Dreams into Reality
"I still remember it like it was today—the moment I found out we had received our biggest grant ever: 760,000 EUR. Yes, you read that right. A six-figure grant.
I sat in my car, screaming and crying, overwhelmed with disbelief and joy. It felt unreal. And in that moment, I made a decision: I would teach every Montessorian who wants grant money exactly how to do this.
That’s why I created this course, together with my colleague Plamena. You need to learn how to secure grants for your Montessori work. And I am here to help you make it happen."
