Invest in the Trillium Waldorf School
Providing Transformative Education for Guelph and the Wellington-Waterloo Region
A School Rooted in Community, Growing for the Future
The Trillium Waldorf School has been a place where education nurtures the whole child, mind, body, and spirit, for over 30 years. Here, creativity thrives, curiosity is celebrated, and children grow into confident, compassionate individuals.
Investing in local Waldorf schools isn’t just about education—it's about shaping a more thoughtful, creative, and connected society. You are not just helping to finance our school—you are empowering future generations.
An Anthroposophical Financial Partner
The Trillium Waldorf School is refinancing our mortgage, working with an Anthroposophical lender, the Vidar Foundation. our goal is a $2.5 million, 25-year mortgage that will:
- Replace our current mortgage ($2 million)
- Eliminate our operating deficit
- Provide critical financial stability for the future.
Vidar can provide an opportunity for members of our community and others to participate in this effort through values-aligned investments. These would be fully secured and offer an avenue for community members to help support Trillium's long-term success.
The Vidar Foundation is a Canadian charitable organization that provides low-interest, values-based financing to anthroposophical initiatives—such as Waldorf schools, biodynamic farms, and cultural centers—across Canada. Founded on principles of ethical investing and long-term sustainability, Vidar channels private capital into projects with deep social value and strong community roots. Through a model of secured loans and tuition support programs, Vidar enables independent institutions to grow without relying on traditional banking or government funding.
Sustainable Financing, Resilient School
With a long-term, affordable mortgage in place, Trillium Waldorf School will be able to continue to offer:
- Sustainable, independent Waldorf education in north Guelph for families across the region
- Tuition assistance for diverse families, including an Indigenous Tuition Waiver Program
- Faculty development and retention, ensuring quality and continuity in the classroom
- Community outreach, including Early Years programs, Summer Camps, and educational workshops
This is not just an investment in a school building—it’s an investment in a living, growing community dedicated to education, equity, and the future.
Let’s grow something meaningful. Together.
