We are in the process of developing a capital campaign in order to update our facilities, mainly the Lower School and Middle School buildings. This will be such a fresh and exciting renewal that will lift the students even more in their Waldorf journey of learning. Kate Galt is happy to share more information with you. Email her at kgalt@smwaldorf.org.
Our Endowment currently stands at approximately $300,000. The Shining Mountain Waldorf School’s Endowment is a part of our community’s financial foundation. Only the interest earned by the Endowment is used by Shining Mountain each year; the principal is a permanent gift of support. If you would like to add to the principal, please speak with our Development Director, Kate Galt. kgalt@smwaldorf.org. Endowment funding always strengthens our school and makes a direct and lasting impact on the success of our students and community.
