2025 CWS Annual Fund

"Education is not the filling of the pail, but the lighting of a fire." - William Butler Yeats

Your gift will help fund essential needs not covered by tuition — from building repairs and teacher training to providing extra support for projects like our school garden.

We ask every family in our community to take part in the Annual Fund in whatever way feels meaningful and possible for them.

Your support for the CWS Annual Fund Drive is essential to the healthy functioning of our school — it really is that simple.

Why Give?

Annual Fund gifts help pay for expenses not covered by tuition. Each year, tuition only covers about 85% of the school’s expenses. Annual Fund gifts help cover this difference and ensure that the school can provide strong support for our faculty and make necessary improvements to our building and grounds.

Your gift expresses your love and appreciation for the Cincinnati Waldorf School and helps to ensure that this education remains accessible for children and families in Greater Cincinnati.

When you give to the Annual Fund, you join hands with countless people over more than 50 years whose dedication has ensured the health and vitality of our school, which now serves children from parents and tots through high school!
