West Carrollton Schools
Mission Statement
A Foundation for the Future
The mission of the West Carrollton Education Foundation is to raise private funds from community
individuals, businesses and organizations and to distribute these funds for staff and student enrichment.
These funds supplement school dollars and help provide the well-balanced educational approach
deserved by the students of Miami Township, Moraine and West Carrollton.
Founded in 1989, the WCEF is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization. It is administered by a
nine-member Board of Trustees who represent various groups within the school community.
West Carrollton Education Foundation Annual Fundraising Campaign
Founded in 1989, the West Carrollton Education Foundation was one of the first in the Dayton Area to
benefit a public school system. The Foundation is guided by its mission to enrich the educational
experiences of West Carrollton's 3,800 students. Through teacher grants, special projects, and
community recognition, the Foundation supports innovation, research, aesthetic enhancements, and
special opportunities for students that would not otherwise be available. Thanks to our donors'
generosity, the West Carrollton Education Foundation is making a pOSitive difference in the education of
West Carrollton's students. Programs supported by WCEF generally fall into two categories: recognition
and grants.
Grant Programs
Donations can be made to the Foundation's general grant account or they can be designated for use in
one of four special areas. Those areas include:
Performing and Visual Arts Grants: The Foundation supports ongoing efforts to provide West Carrollton
students exposure to a wide variety of performing and visual arts.
Innovative Teaching Grants: The Foundation offers an opportunity and incentive to full and part-time
faculty to develop innovative projects that go beyond regular classroom responsibilities and to share
these projects so they benefit their colleagues and students.
Global Awareness Grants: The Foundation offers an opportunity to promote cultural awareness, cross
cultural dialogue, and other diversity programs to create a climate of academic success for all students.
Science and Technology Grants: The Foundation supports projects that promote an understanding of the
issues related to science, technology and society.
Recognition Program
Distinguished Service Hall of Fame: WCEF honors members of the school district community who have made a significant impact on the district and/or its students. lof3
