WILLIAM S HART EDUCATION FOUNDATION

We have expanded our board and brought on people that are highly motivated, creative leaders. They are allowing us to broaden our exposure and bring on more unique ways of funding. We started a program of school family giving during the registration process in August, which has been successful, and we are currently working to provide expanded giving opportunities for district staff during the on boarding process.

We have grown our board and brought on motivated, connected people who are proactive and responsible leaders. It's bringing us to a new level of organization and exposure.

The strongest indicator of success will be the continued support of our community, corporate and grant giving to WiSH, allowing us to pass on the vast majority of that money to our classrrooms. WiSH has a very low overhead with only one employee and donated office space. That allows us to make the maximum allowable difference each year. When we can say "yes" to every classroom request, we know we've done our job.

As mentioned above, WiSH has directed over $500,000 in goods and services to the schools in our district, serving 23,000 students. Our funding has reached every single student in our district through the funding of STEM and literacy, and provided funding for programs that students choose to excel in, such as music and the arts. Because there is little we don't fund in our schools, the next level is simply giving more and never having to say "no."
