    Investors In Community - Rudolph Steiner School

    Name of Entity Rudolph Steiner School
    Background
    • The first Rudolph Steiner School was established in Australia in 1957. It had three kindergarten students.
    • Over the years this innovative educational system with 'Education for Life' at it's core has grown, now with classes up to year 12.
    • Sydney's Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School has some 500 students occupying campuses at Middle Cove and Castlecrag in Sydney's northern suburbs.
    • With this growth, also comes the need for ongoing building and renovation - and the need to find economical and suitable funding to carry it out.
    • The School turned to Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) for help.
    • As an independent school and not-for-profit organisation, Investors in Community was able to share its expertise in this field.
    Goals
    • To acquire suitable funding to upgrade school facilities and better equip students with the highest standard of resources and equipment.
    • Specifically, the addition of a second story to the arts building, to provide a larger teaching and studio space.
    • To develop a closer working relationship with Community Sector Banking.
    Key Messages
    • Created in 2002 by Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), Investors in Community helps increase the flow of financial resources to the not-for-profit sector.
    Evaluation
    • The arts building extensions were completed for use within the same year.
    • Funds assisted in the School's upgrade of resources and equipment for students.
