Every Gift Counts, Every Gift Makes A Difference
At the Waldorf School of Atlanta, we know that education is not only about what a child learns but also about who they become. Each day, our students are immersed in a living education—one that cultivates curiosity, creativity, resilience, and compassion. This kind of education requires more than tuition alone can provide.
That’s where the Annual Fund comes in!
The Annual Fund is an essential part of our operating budget. It bridges the gap between tuition and the full cost of a WSA education, sustaining the daily programs, faculty, and experiences that make our school extraordinary. Every lesson, science experiment, story, and seasonal festival is made possible in part by the Annual Fund.
Our goal this year: $130,000 by 12/02/2025
Reaching this goal depends on the generosity of all who love WSA - parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, and friends. Every gift matters, and every gift makes a difference.

Help us reach our goal of $130k by Giving Tuesday on December 2nd, 2025.
We are deeply grateful to our donors whose generosity makes it possible for us to provide an affordable and comprehensive Waldorf education to the children and the families in Atlanta. As a 501(c)3 charitable organization, your generous financial support is fully tax deductible!
Current Families – Why 100% Participation Matters
At WSA, giving to the Annual Fund is about more than dollars, it’s about joining together in a shared commitment to our children. When every family participates, it shows our children that their education matters deeply to us all. It strengthens our bonds as a community, and it sends a powerful message to foundations and outside donors: this is a school sustained by the people who believe in it most.
Participation is our strength. Generosity is our culture.
This year, we are striving for 100% participation. By giving, no matter the amount, you become part of a culture of generosity that ensures WSA will thrive for years to come.
Every gift matters. Every family counts. Together, we can reach 100%.
We launched our 2025-26 WSA Annual Fund giving campaign on October 6th!
