t the Rudolf Steiner School, as at every independent school, tuition does not cover the full costs of educating children. Every year, at least 10% of our operating budget is underwritten by generous contributions from parents, alumni and friends. This is a real figure upon which we depend for meeting our annual budget. For 2007-2008, we have a goal to raise $600,000 by June 30, 2008.

The Annual Fund provides across-the-board support for all of our needs: funds for faculty development, financial aid for students, start-up money for new programs, even underwriting for maintenance of our two landmark buildings.

Our school benefits from the high rate of participation from all of our constituencies. We are deeply grateful for each expression of support. Help us continue the strong history of philanthropy that has made the Rudolf Steiner School the vital center for Waldorf education that it is today. Your gift before June 30, 2008, will help keep our school on a solid financial foundation.
