Our tuition only covers approximately 90% of our school's operating budget. Therefore, to keep our school as affordable as possible, we rely heavily on our fundraising efforts to meet our operational and strategic goals. All parents are asked to embrace this culture of giving and are expected to participate to the best of their abilities.

Annual Appeal

The goal of the Annual Fund is to close the gap between tuition revenue and the costs of operation. All monies raised are dedicated to the operating budget of the school, which covers such items as faculty salaries, financial aid, and student programs and services. Annual giving enables every parent to participate productively in the financial life of the school with a tax-deductible gift. As we strive to improve and enhance our school, the generosity of these gifts makes a significant difference in the lives of our students and creates a financial network of donors that enables us to fulfill our mission.

Silent Auction

The Silent Auction is an event all parents and friends of Sanderling Waldorf School look forward to every year. This themed evening of entertainment, food, drink, and a live and silent auction serves as a major fundraising opportunity for the school. 

Other events that support our school are the Rummage Sale, the eBay Auction Donation Drive, and giving campaigns such as the Grandparent's Giving Fundraiser. Without these events, and more inspiring events to come in the future, it would be nearly impossible to provide a financially healthy school environment for our children.
