Annual Giving 2011-12

At the Whistler Waldorf School, the Annual Giving campaign is launched each year to create a fund for special projects. In the past we have raised funds for a library, new floors, or new office computers. In recent years, we have created a fund to help pay for costs associated with finding a permanent home and pre-paring for a major capital campaign.

These costs included speakers, workshops, new visioning and collateral documents and brochures (graphic design and printing costs), as well as feasibility study documents and consultant fees. Finalizing a permanent site, and organizing a capital campaign involves a significant investment both volunteer time wise for our Board and various planning committees, and with committing dollars towards preparing for these projects. 

Tuition fees and government grants (and a portion of fundraising) cover the school’s Operations budget, which largely consists of teacher salaries and lease payments for operating space. Whistler Waldorf is committed to keeping our fees as low as possible to maintain affordability and keep the education as accessible as possible.

Help us reach our goal of full participation and $10,000 to fund the continued planning for a permanent location and a future capital campaign— let’s believe in our future!
