The Annual Giving campaign is the most important fundraiser of the school year- a chance for our entire community to come together and support the school we cherish. It helps bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the true cost of providing a rich Waldorf education, which includes faculty and staff salaries, professional development, tuition assistance, and facilities maintenance and improvements. An unrestricted contribution is the most powerful way to sustain and strengthen our school, ensuring that we can continue to nurture the heart of Waldorf education for generations to come.
