Who We Are
Lake Washington Schools Foundation was founded in March
2005 by a group of community members to enrich the quality of our schools,
engage the support of our community, and enhance opportunities for all
students in the Lake Washington School District.
Lake Washington Schools Foundation (LWSF) is a Washington
based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Mission
The Lake Washington Schools Foundation supports academic excellence
and success for all students.
When you invest in LWSF, you invest in a proven organization that strengthens Lake Washington schools. Our continued success relies upon the generosity of our donors and partners.
Importance of a Foundation
As an advocate for educational excellence, the LWSF raises funds,
gathers resources and acts as a catalyst to involve the community
in public education. Donations made to the Lake Washington Schools
Foundation funds programs go beyond what tax revenues can support.
These funds help to continue and expand the traditions of excellence
and innovation in the Lake Washington School District.
LWSD 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.
