The Annual Giving Campaign
is Wishing Well’s primary fundraiser
Put simply - tuition alone only covers about 80% of Wishing Well School's operating costs. As with many independent schools, the Annual Fund is the primary fundraiser to bridge this financial gap. Without your support, we cannot meet our financial commitments for the year. Meaning, we cannot: retain quality teachers with competitive salaries, expand programing and services to our students & families, or properly meet our tuition assistance commitment.
Just in the past two years, for example, Wishing Well has made significant investments in our faculty, including:
- Added over 120 years of teaching experience
- Increased teacher salaries by an average of 15% per year
We need your contribution to support these expenses. This year’s Annual Giving goal is $65,000 with 100% participation from every parent (as well as staff and board members) at our school.
Because Wishing Well is a nonprofit institution, every contribution to our Annual Giving Campaign is tax-deductible. Our Annual Giving Campaign runs from October 2nd through October 26th, but the fund is open throughout our fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).
Thank you all for your support. We wouldn't be able to fulfill our mission of educating the whole child through Waldorf inspired education without our community of parents, students, grandparents, alumni, teachers and staff, and friends!
