Annual Giving 2022-2023

What is our goal this year?

You may be aware that tuition alone is not enough to cover all the costs of our extraordinarily rich Waldorf curriculum. Like all other non-profit organizations, our school strives to cover the gap between tuition and the actual costs of operating the school by appealing to the generosity and commitment of parents, grandparents, friends, and alumni.

Our Annual Giving goal this year is $365,000.

Together we can reach this goal. Our community strength depends on each other, so our campaign has set the lofty goal of reaching 100% participation. This year, our Annual Giving campaign is focused on helping address teachers’ salaries; if we can reach this year’s campaign goal of raising $325,000, the school will pass along a 5% cost of living bonus to our faculty. This is a modest bonus given the dramatic inflation of recent times.
