The Annual Giving Campaign/Materials Donation is the foundation of Alice Birney Parent Guild’s fundraising effort. The Alice Birney Parent Guild is a 501c3 Non-Profit that serves as fundraising support for materials, field trips, and specialty programs at Alice Birney Public Waldorf TK-8 School.
Every year we ask that families contribute to the Annual Giving drive. The suggested donation to cover the cost of our specialty programs and materials is $350 per student per year, but all amounts are appreciated and valuable.
These funds directly pay for:
- Specialty programs – Movement, Music, Handwork, Woodwork and Athletics
- Field trips
- Materials including – main lesson books, beeswax block and stick crayons, modeling beeswax and clay, colored pencils, watercolor paints, brushes, calligraphy pens and paper
- Classroom and campus upgrades
With the suggested donation our Specialty Programs can be fully funded.
We realize that families in our community have different financial circumstances. Please give what you can.
Our goal is to have 100% of our families participate at whatever level works with their financial situations.
Families who are able are always welcome to sponsor another child attending Alice Birney. All donations are fully tax-deductible, regardless if given as one-time or monthly payments via credit card or bank bill pay.
