About Waldorfstiftung

Waldorfstiftung supports the renewal and development of Waldorf education in Germany, with a strong emphasis on creative, innovative, and practical projects that improve school life, teaching quality, and the broader Waldorf pedagogy. Its grants tend to go to Waldorf schools, kindergartens, student-led initiatives, teacher training, research, and infrastructure upgrades that directly strengthen the movement. In addition to project grants, it offers subordinated investment loans for construction and other capital needs, making it distinctive as both a grantmaker and a mission-aligned financier.
