Worthington Educational Foundation
The Mission of the Worthington School District Educational Foundation, a community-wide tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) organization, is to identify, fund, and support projects that enrich learning experiences for the students of Worthington Schools.
The Worthington Educational Foundation was formed on May 4, 1988 by a group of community leaders dedicated to making the educational experience of our children something extraordinary. Their goal was to make funds available for educational projects that went beyond the basic curriculum and would not otherwise be funded with tax dollars.
Over its nearly 20 year history, the Foundation has raised over $405,000 in contributions and awarded over 400 grants totaling over $310,000 to Worthington teachers and staff to fund exciting and innovative educational projects for our students. These projects range across all schools, grade levels and subject areas.
The Foundation has embarked upon an aggressive fundraising campaign and has raised over $184,000 in the last 4 years. These funds have been invested back into our schools through Special Projects Grants where the Foundation has awarded substantially larger grants to fund bigger projects. In the last 2 years, the Foundation has awarded over $40,000 in Special Projects Grants, in addition to funding regular grants.
We hope you will assist the Foundation in its ongoing mission to support Worthington Schools and help our community continue to be an exceptional place to live, learn and work.
