Motivations for giving are varied. Many individuals view their support as a means of accomplishing personal goals. Some give simply because they view their support as a good investment. Others value the knowledge and experiences they have received and wish to ensure the same for future generations of students. Perhaps your motivation is to: remember someone you love or respect. maintain an interest in your school district. demonstrate your leadership and support for education. support your financial or estate planning through philanthropic tax advantages. Private support involves gifts given to the Waterford Foundation for Public Education by people who are committed to supporting Waterford students. Our thanks to those donors whose generosity helps us recognize, fund, and provide creative, innovative programs for students. Thank you for your support.

Sponsorship Brochure

What is the Waterford Foundation for Public Education?

Founded in 1984, the Waterford Foundation for Public Education is 501 (c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to mobilizing community support for the Waterford School District.

How is the organization different from school PTSA organizations?

We are the only organization in our community that supports all schools in the district. PTSA organizations do a great job raising funds for projects within specific schools but the Waterford Foundation for Public Education supports a broad range of innovative programs or projects that enhance curricular and extracurricular opportunities for students across the district.

Where does the funding for the projects and programs come from? What impact does the Waterford Foundation for Public Education make for Waterford students?

We are supported by private gifts given by individuals who are committed to supporting the Waterford School District. Funding is provided through donations and/or fundraising activities such as the Annual Golf Outing or sponsorship opportunities. Since our organization's establishment in 1984, we have distributed over $2 million (approximately $100,000 annually) in classroom grants to support student learning. Scholarships are awarded annually to students who possess social talents and gifts and have the potential to make substantial social contributions. We provide recognition programs such as Select Fifty, an annual recognition of outstanding seniors within the district; Durant High School Most Improved, for students who have made significant improvements in their academic standing; and Teacher of the Year, an annual recognition honoring outstanding district educators.
