Gift Recognition

Pilauŋyayapi (We Thank You All)

We proudly share our list of major donors – the foundations, businesses, tribal organizations, and others from all over the world – whose gifts and in-kind support help us provide indigenous Waldorf Education to Lakota children.

Due to limited space and privacy issues, this list does not include the names of the many individuals who are also vital part of making our school possible.

However, please know – we are deeply grateful for each contribution, large and small, and the visionary support of every donor. Together these charitable gifts come together to provide the resources that are changing the lives of Lakota children.

* We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our records. However, if you find an error, omission, or misspelling in this list, please email us at info@lakotawaldorfschool.org.
