Diversity & Inclusivity Matching Challenge

Help DWS raise $15,000 by July 31

At the Denver Waldorf School, we recognize the importance of building an inclusive environment. In 2015, we began a 5-year inclusive initiative, aimed at creating a school more reflective of our local community. We are pleased to announce that we have received a foundation gift of $15,000 to fund our Diversity and Inclusivity Scholarship Fund in support of this initiative which will help fund children of color to attend DWS. This is a matching challenge to our community to help secure the dollar for dollar match through individual donations or from other foundations that support children of color attending DWS!

Additional Information

How does receiving this scholarship impact your child’s life or your families lives?

This affects me as it puts me at ease as a mom who has worried about her son and the dangers faced by a child of color in the traditional school system settings” and “the impact of Waldorf Education will and has overall created opportunity for me by enabling my son to have a well-deserved education that equals the playing fields for male youth and furthering our family attempt to change the dynamics of poverty in the next generation. Thank you, Denver Waldorf, for all you are and all you do!

Waldorf education has impacted us positively, it is a blessing to us, I have seen my daughter blossom with a lot of confidence. She is happier because she loves to go to school and feels accepted and comfortable with who she is because her friends and teachers love her and tell her. Before she started Waldorf, she always thought she was different and will always ask questions about it, but now, she talks about her difference with confidence as to how special everybody is despite the difference in hair and color.
