Development and Giving
The Washington Waldorf School Community–parents, alumni, faculty and staff, and other friends of the school--have been exceptionally generous over the years in helping to sustain the school.
Tuition alone does not cover the cost of Waldorf Education. Although the Washington Waldorf School raises some funds from special events such as the Fall Bazaar and Spring Gala, and most classes raise funds for special class-specific activities, we depend on the the generous financial support of the entire school community, alumni, and friends to strengthen the school.
The school we have now is in large measure a gift from those who came before us. We hope that all of us in the school community will remember that our gifts will make a very significant contribution to what the school can be in the future.
As of early 2012, we are completing negotiations with Montgomery County to secure a long-term (up to 30 years) lease for our current building. Assuming these negotiations are successful, we will need to raise capital funds so that we can make improvemnts to the building, including installation of a new roof and HVAC system and construction of a gymnasium. We are now planning for a capital campaign and will provide additional information as the plans proceed.
