Giving

At Austin Waldorf School, every gift has a meaningful and lasting impact. As a private, independent school, we rely on the generosity of our community—families, alumni, grandparents, and friends—to help sustain and enrich the educational experience we provide.

Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of a Waldorf education.

Donations help us go beyond the basics, supporting programs and improvements that elevate learning, creativity, and connection. Your contributions make possible the things that tuition cannot—enhanced classroom experiences, faculty development, updated resources, and much-needed capital improvements.

Your Gifts Make a Difference!

In recent years, gifts from our community have helped purchase new school buses, expanded our library offerings, supported teacher training, and contributed to the building of our Performing Arts Center—a space that now brings music, theater, and celebration to life for our students and families.

Every donation—large or small—plays a role in shaping the daily lives and long-term success of our students and teachers. Your support is fully tax-deductible (Tax ID: 74-2176835) and deeply appreciated.
Explore the many ways you can give, and know that your generosity truly makes a difference.
