Why Give?
When you make a financial donation to our school, you are becoming a part of a group of people that cares deeply about the world. Through our incredible commitment to a positive future for our children, we can change the world into a place of greater possibility and peace. Each day, our faculty and staff (with the help of parents and grandparents) provide an environment for our children where they are loved, nurtured, educated and truly seen and heard. We are so fortunate to have such a meaningful and conscious learning environment for our children. The children are truly the blessings at the center of the school and, with your donation, we can continue to provide this inspiring education for them.
What Does My Donation Accomplish?
Your donation helps limit tuition increases, support full programs, strengthens faculty compensation, provides maintenance of our school facility and grounds and maintains an economically-diverse student population. Each year, tuition and fees are set at a level that will support the school’s programs and needs and yet remain affordable to a broad range of families. Our fundraising efforts allow our school to provide a full Waldorf education—academics, movement and physical education, foreign language, handwork and woodwork, music, gardening, drama, and fine art.
Legacy Giving
Legacy giving, sometimes called “planned giving,” refers to the creation of a future gift to a cause or organization. Any individual, at any point in their life, can create a legacy gift. It can be as simply as naming DWS as the beneficiary on a savings, checking, or pension account, or a more complex vehicle, like a charitable trust. Endowment funds and bequests are also examples of common legacy gifts. Legacy gifts are a deeply meaningful way for individuals to invest in and support the future of DWS and Waldorf education in the community. Please contact us for more information on legacy giving.
