I am making this gift with deep gratitude, in honor of my Sunbridge family.

– Teacher Education graduate, in a note accompanying an Annual Fund donation

Every gift to Sunbridge matters. By giving to Sunbridge, you play a direct role in enabling us to continue to attract, educate, and develop teachers, leaders, and researchers who will serve in Waldorf classrooms, administrations, and communities nationally and globally. Your financial support allows us to expand our programming, making Sunbridge relevant to new generations and new kinds of students, and to defray our operating expenses, ensuring the future viability of our institute. See our 2018-19 Impact Report to learn more.

Ways of Giving

We encourage you to earmark your gift to one (or more) of these funds:

  • COVID-19 Emergency Support Fund: Our newest fund, essential for these unique times, has been created to help ease the burdens of our teacher education students by lessening their tuition obligations and creating additional supplemental tuition assistance.
  • Norman Davidson Student Support Fund: Inaugurated in honor of our 50th anniversary in 2017, the Norman Davidson Student Support Fund pays tribute to Norman Davidson, Sunbridge’s beloved director of teacher training from 1986 until 1998. Gifts to this fund go toward supporting our teacher education students through scholarship grants, mentor visits, and apprenticeship opportunities.
  • Sunbridge Diversity Fund: The Sunbridge Diversity Fund was established in 2018 for the purpose of increasing the number of demographically diverse Waldorf teacher education graduates prepared to take on educational and leadership roles in Waldorf classrooms and schools. Gifts to this fund provide scholarship grants for our teacher education students who are people of color, as well as help finance projects and programming that promote diversity awareness and cultural responsiveness among all our students. Learn more about diversity at Sunbridge.
  • Annual Fund: Gifts to our annual fund go toward essential operating expenses, including program development, faculty salaries, and outreach activities.
