Planned Giving Program
We are pleased to offer Walden School’s Planned Giving Program. This program offers a way to support Walden and leave a lasting legacy that will benefit future generations.
Planned giving is the act of arranging a charitable donation during your lifetime or as part of your estate plan. It allows you to make a meaningful contribution to Walden while also achieving your personal financial and philanthropic goals.

The walden fund provides the difference
Income from the Walden Fund helps offset the cost of tuition, which alone only covers about 90% of the school’s operating costs. This gap in funds is filled by the generous contributions of our donors and provides:
• Educator resources for professional and classroom development
• Small class sizes
• Experiential lessons on campus and beyond
• Enhanced school security
• Technology upgrades
Start where you are, Use what you have, ANd Do what you can!
