The Waukesha Education Foundation is an independent, community-based, charitable, volunteer organization raising funds and other resources for the educational enrichment of students in the Waukesha Public Schools.  The Foundation seeks the cooperation and collaboration of individuals, corporations, businesses and community organizations to secure funding to promote excellence, opportunity and equity in the Waukesha Public Schools.   The Waukesha Education Foundation is independent of both the School District and the Board of Education, but has the endorsement of both.

Our volunteer board meets monthly and provides leadership in raising endowment funds and reviewing applications to award grants and scholarships. The Board is made up of a broad mix of community members, parents and educators. Board members serve three year terms that are once-renewable.
