Giving
Why Give?
Arts education should be fundamental. It should be woven through the entire curriculum. The cognitive skills of artists are some of the most important cognitive skills today. ~ Daniel Pink, author, “A Whole New Mind”
To reach its goals, the Honolulu Waldorf School relies upon the support and involvement of our entire community– board members, faculty and staff, parents, grandparents, alumni, friends, and community members–through a coordinated series of fundraising activities. Every contributor is an important stakeholder in this unique community that nurtures our children so completely. Your philanthropic participation is essential to making a difference in the life of a child!
