The WSOC Endowment Program exists to support the Board of Trustees in carrying out one of its principal responsibilities: ensuring the school’s viability for the next generation of children. It consists of alumni, parents, grandparents and friends who have made a commitment to a Waldorf Education through direct and deferred giving.
We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the vision of the school’s founding parents and reaffirm our commitment to providing an outstanding education to a new generation of children.
Planned giving options include bequests, insurance policies, charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities and beneficiary designations.
