Giving to WSA

The mission and values of The Waldorf School of Atlanta are sustained through the dedication and commitment of every member of our community. Gifts of time, financial resources, and expertise are essential components of that commitment. This valuable support enables our school to remain fiscally healthy and cultivates our vibrant and compassionate community.

Waldorf Annual Fund

The 2024-2025 Waldorf Annual Fund is devoted to Sowing Seeds of Growth, to symbolize our commitment to nurturing and investing in the future of WSA.
