What is the DVWS Giving Circle?

YOU are invited to invest your values and
lend your voice to the future direction
of Da Vinci Waldorf School.

The DVWS Giving Circle is an annual opportunity for community members to share their dreams and intentions for our school and actively participate in making those dreams come true. As a non-profit organization, additional support is needed to achieve our mission. The Giving Circle process invites your participation in not only building up the fund but also in deciding how the fund will be spent.

Your gift at any level allows you to become a member of the DVWS Giving Circle. Giving Circle Members are invited to submit proposals for projects or initiatives they would like to see at our school. Once all the proposals are received, we will gather as a community and decide how the dollars will be allocated amongst the submitted proposals.

The Giving Circle Event will be Saturday, February 1, 2020

We will meet at The Relationship Center in downtown Wauconda.

You need not be present at the event to submit proposals for consideration. You may also select a proxy to vote for your favorite proposals on your behalf.

How did we come up with this unique program?

The Giving Circle process follows the Shared Gifting model developed by the Rudolf Steiner Social Finance group. Learn more about Shared Gifting here.  The process is inspiring, informative and builds a community of collective action, mutually beneficial goals, and shared trust.

Thank you for considering our school for your gift dollars this year!
