Annual Giving Campaign

Watch the Annual Giving Video from Sanderling Waldorf School.

Annual giving is a yearly fundraising event that offers an opportunity to help grow the school and broaden awareness of its programs among the greater community. The financial reality is that tuition typically covers about 90% of the cost of providing this wonderful education. The annual giving campaign is one of the means to help bridge this gap. These funds help us pay for important things such as specialty classes, faculty development, tuition assistance for families in need, and the beautiful equipment that graces our classrooms. This year, funds raised in annual giving will help us purchase playground equipment for the Nursery/Kindergarten play area of our new campus.


Ways to Contribute
There are many different methods available for making a tax-deductible donation during the campaign. One time payments can be made by cash, check, or credit card, and an option of recurring payments for current Sanderling parents is available. You may donate and pay online at the Donate link below, or print and return this form.  

Donations of marketable securities are also accepted.  Many employers also offer employer matches for your donation, so be sure to check with them to help stretch your much valued gift even further.

“Waldorf Education has been such an unexpected gift in our lives.  Not only is the Waldorf approach a beautiful and incredibly thoughtful educational system, but the intimate extended-family feel of our sweet, growing school provides such a warm and caring community for the whole family. The children are happy and excited to learn at Sanderling, because the faculty nurtures the cognitive, emotional, and artistic capabilities of the children and does so in a joyful and fun manner.”
~ Marjorie M., SWS Parent (N/K and Grades)

“Our 8 year old daughter comes home from school smiling, eager to show us her latest knitting project or bees wax sculpture. Our home is often filled with beautiful songs of gratitude she sings at school and can't wait to share. She is learning profound appreciation for our Earth and the importance of endless creativity and play. The environment for learning is nurturing, not pressuring, allowing for a happy, balanced day which is evident by the joy we see in her. We are thankful we are able to send her to this school.”
~ Cliff and Lisa D., parents of a 3rd-grader at SWS
