your support matters
Make a Donation
The Emerson Waldorf School is fortunate to have generous parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends. From the beginning, our history has been full of giving. Our school was started by a group of parents and teachers who donated and loaned their money to rent space and then buy land to build our school. Since then, the tradition of giving has continued, as parents donated both time and resources to build the West Wing, the High School, the Nursery, the Hinoki Theater, our school Farm, Athletic Fields, and, most recently, an addition to the Administrative building.
With the ongoing support of our generous donors, Emerson Waldorf School can continue to grow and thrive. We are grateful for you!
CONSIDER DONATING IRA, STOCK, DONOR-ADVISED FUND, OR CRYPTOCURRENCY
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, are the savviest way for individuals age 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.
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!
