Winters Education Foundation 
Celebrating over 14 years of supporting our schools!

COMING SOON!-
Big Day of Giving - May 2, 2024!

BIG DAY OF GIVING IS A BIG DEAL FOR WEF AND FOR OUR STUDENTS!

As our major fundraiser, WEF relies on your generous donations during the Big Day of Giving event each year. Your support has a direct impact in our schools. Your generous donations in 2023, allowed WEF to distribute over $20000 in mini grants to our schools to support expanded educational offerings. And though we were thrilled to offer these grants the need indicated by grant requests was over $40,000! As a board we had some very difficult decisions to make. Please keep WEF in your minds and hearts when making your charitable gifts. And please know that every dollar donated does make a difference.

Remember that you can donate any time simply by clicking the donate button below.
