About Us
The Lake Washington Schools Foundation supports the Lake Washington School District by raising funds for programs that inspire learning, help at-risk students, and improve academic performance. In partnership with our communities in Redmond, Kirkland, and Sammamish, we are working to bridge the gap between basic education funding as provided by the State of Washington and what is needed to meet the Lake Washington School District's vision - Every Student Future Ready: Prepared for College, Prepared for the Global Workplace, Prepared for Personal Success.
Lake Washington Schools District is the sixth largest district in Washington State. This school district serves over 24,000 students in Kindergarten through Twelfth grade. With the present economic climate, dwindling state funds and our continuing drive for school reform, the needs of our schools are great and ongoing. Foundations are becoming a vital source of funding to provide “the extras” – supplemental materials, enrichment activities and extra support for students to reach their potential.
