GIVING

The Annual Fund is our School’s top fundraising priority. Each year, we invite our cherished community of parents, alumni, grandparents, employees, and friends to make a meaningful contribution to our Annual Fund.

The Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is central to our efforts at the Waldorf School of Baltimore, supporting every aspect of our school. Whether you can join the Leadership Circle with a gift of $1,000+ or a one-time donation of $500, $250, or $25, your support—of any size—affirms our shared commitment to the value of Waldorf education.

For the 2024-25 school year we are striving for 100% community participation to reach our Annual Fund goal of $90,000. Your generosity allows us continue to provide an exceptional Waldorf education, nurturing each student’s growth and ensuring the vibrancy and growth of our extraordinary school community.
