10th Annual Giving Circle—Donate Today

10 Years Of Giving Circle Banner

Give Now | Proposal List

The Da Vinci Waldorf School Giving Circle is a moment each year when our community gathers in warmth and intention—when we share our hopes for the school, listen to one another, and imagine what we might create together.

Like all non-profits, our school relies on financial support to fulfill its mission. But at Da Vinci Waldorf School, we believe that true strength comes from participation—from many hands, many voices, and the shared will of a thoughtful community.

A portion of all funds raised will be directed by you—the Giving Circle members.

The Circle weaves transparency and collaboration into the heart of our fundraising, strengthening the relationships that sustain our school. It invites us into a deeper, more spiritual way of supporting the work we all believe in—one rooted in trust, community wisdom, and shared purpose.

You are warmly invited to bring your values, your vision, and your voice to the future of Da Vinci Waldorf School. Every gift joins with others to create something larger than any one of us could do alone. No gift is too small—or too large.

There is still time to join the Circle—giving is open through Saturday, December 20.
