Supporting Center for Anthroposophy
Dear Friends,
On October 17, our CfA board approved our new strategic plan for the next four years. The culmination of a year of searching, questioning, refining, and drafting, this plan will address the needs of CfA and those we perceive in the Waldorf movement. We are ever so excited to now share these with our circle of friends and ask for your engagement!
A more detailed description can be found here, but summarized our plan consists of five goals:
- Strengthening Enrollment: Waldorf Education as a Path to Becoming. This priority is mostly focused on teacher education and supporting schools with newly inspired teachers.
- Building a Circle of Friends: Alums, Partners, Networks, International Engagement. We cannot do our work alone!
- Sharing our Story. This outreach work will feature our wonderful alums and the CfA programs that have served them.
- Renewing Anthroposophical Initiatives through Research. We need to continue to deepen the spiritual impulses possible in student and faculty research that sustains us.
- Deepening Organizational Strength and Capacities. To accomplish our goals, and all the other work we do at CfA, we intend to improve the administrative and organizational systems that serve us all.
The board allocated seed money so we can start right in on each of the above goals, but to fully realize our intentions we are reaching out to you, our friends, donors, and alums: Is there one or more of the above goals that you are inspired to support? If so, please make a donation to help us realize them!
As in the past, gifts to general operations and to each of our named funds are also welcome:
- Georg Locher elementary teacher education scholarship fund
- Douglas Gerwin high school teacher education scholarship fund
- KMF Renewal courses scholarship fund
- Kairos scholarship fund
- Research fund, recently established to jump-start priority 4 above.
Please indicate on the form below how you wish to designate your donation. We are ever so grateful to all who have so loyally supported the work of CfA these many years!
With gratitude,
Torin M. Finser, PhD
Director of Development
