Giving

At Emerson Waldorf School, we are grateful for the generosity of our parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends. Our school’s history is built on a foundation of giving. We began with a dedicated group of parents and teachers who pooled their resources to rent space and eventually purchase land, laying the groundwork for our vibrant campus.

Since then,
the spirit of philanthropy has grown. Additional investments have allowed us to expand our facilities, from the West Wing of the Grades School and High School to the Nursery, Hinoki Theater, School Farm, Athletic Fields, and most recently, the addition to the Administrative building.

Thanks to the ongoing support of our community, Emerson Waldorf School continues to grow and thrive.
We are truly grateful for your unwavering commitment to our future.

WAYS TO GIVE

  • Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, are the savviest way for individuals aged 70½ or older to use their IRAs to maximize their charitable impact.

    Whether you want to make a QCD gift to Emerson Waldorf School today, request a tax acknowledgment letter for a gift already made, or just learn more about QCDs, you can find resources for each below.

    IRA DONATIONS >

  • When you gift stocks and other securities directly to a charity, you make an outsized impact without taking money directly out of your bank account. Plus, neither you nor the charity will be taxed on the gains for appreciated assets you donate.

    Meet your giving goals, enjoy potential tax benefits, and contribute to the change you want to see. That’s a triple-win!
