Your gift will help us move in and maintain our homestead.  This is a place where kids and communities alike will learn and grow.

Your gift of $10,000 will help us with the necessary modifications and permits we need to expand into our campus.

Your gift of 20,000 will go directly to establishing our modular classrooms and expanded campus.

Paved with golden dreams. Your gift of $50,000 will go towards infrastructure upgrades, road widening, and traffic planning.

Our goal is to get 20 angel donors at the 100,000 level  to complete our phase two goal.

Your gift of $200,000 would anchor our innovation goals for expanded classrooms, community garden, and community farm.

Reaching our goal of $1,090,000 will allow us to start our phase one campus plan with expanded classrooms and facilities, and continue to inspire ethical thinkers through the best in class Waldorf education and community building programming.

Reaching our goal of $2,450,000 will help us reach beyond our classroom expansion and allow us to stabilize our property and continue building our future.

Reaching this goal will set free the ultimate vision and mission for these 40 acres. Cultivating a biodynamic community, complete with the infrastructure and guiding principles for true renewal of land and purpose.

“a home for your imagination to run free under the sun.” 

 Forty acres of eastside pine and sage, Haskatasun is nestled above Prosser Creek. Traveled over time by ice and rock, the summertime Washoe, Basque sheepherders, and trails of migratory deer, we are not the first people to cross these lands, and we may not be the last. We hope to learn as much from this swath of land that the others that have crossed through, and care for it so that other may do the same. 

At Haskatasun we cultivate Purpose, Meaning & Direction through our Waldorf Inspired Learning Center, and our Wild Spaces afternoon & Summer programming. It is also the backdrop for our Community Events and Festivals. Our vision is to renew this land and allow the community to breath in the rhythm of its wisdom.

We have spent the past 2.5 years letting this precious piece of earth speak to its purpose. With careful thought, diligent planning and imaginative visioning we have come to a clear picture of what the future will hold for this land and for this community.

Our promise is to ignite ethical thinkers.  We do this by encouraging people of all ages to find strength and confidence within themselves, faith in those around them and beauty in the greater world. The fabric of our world is woven by the interactions of nature, families, and communities. We believe that through the exploration of ourselves, the natural world, and action within our local community, we begin to understand the larger world. We believe that by spreading ethical thinking, strength, beauty and faith in the individual, we bring trust, beauty and cooperation to the world. By providing and supporting developmentally appropriate curriculum we strengthen the thinking, feeling  and willing of each individual. This will send our community forth with faith in themselves and the deep internal belief that they CAN be the change they want to see in the world.

Thank you for your support in helping us build this community and this homestead.
