Giving

Without your assistance, we cannot offer the very programs that make Summerfield so unique. From our Annual Giving Campaign each autumn, to daily givebacks through our $hop $avvy Program with local Sonoma County merchants , to our wonderful spring fundraiser, Farm To Feast, there are a myriad of ways and financial levels where you can have a direct impact on continuing experiential-based learning here at Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm.

Annual Giving Campaign

Annual Giving Campaign 2024 Icon

October -December 

Funds raised during our fall Annual Giving Campaign go a long way in supporting our educational programs each year. Contributions via our Annual Giving Campaign (AGC) fund our Special Programs in the arts, music, handwork and more; provide emergency tuition assistance; support our Biodynamic® farm with integrated curriculum; allow us to hire (and retain) outstanding faculty; offer ongoing professional development; and so much more.

Each year our goal is 100% community participation, including faculty, staff, and our board. For more information, please email: development@summerfieldwaldorf.org.

Why Support AGC?

It is part of our culture and tradition to keep tuition at a modest level, allowing those who can give more to make tax-deductive contributions, and enabling us to provide financial assistance to community members who could not afford to be here without help, but are dedicated to Waldorf education. Our tuition is low in comparison to other private schools in the area. This is part of what keeps our school vibrant with a myriad of families and experiences.

 

Please help us to support this important mission and maintain the sense of community that makes Summerfield so wondrous. Thank you for your generosity.

Hear from SWSF Parent Sarah Hadler as she shares her perspectives on the value of a Waldorf education at Summerfield, and why supporting AGC is so vital:

Farm To Feast 2025 Icon

2025 Farm To Feast® 

Thank you to the Summerfield community and our community at large for a stellar Farm To Feast® event on May 17, 2025. Together, we raised over $150,000 to support the school's learning programs, tuition assistance, and repair fund. 

It was a night filled with incredible food and drink, active (and generous) bidding at our Live Auction, amazing music from Fleetwood Macramé, and overall a wonderful celebration of Summerfield spirit honoring our 50th year of educational excellence in Sonoma County. 

Thank you to all our sponsors for supporting this important fundraising event, we couldn't have done it without you!
