Financial Questions

All funds raised by the Foundation are given to the WLWV School District with a Letter of Understanding that the proceeds are to be used to fund teaching positions and thereby lower class sizes within the district's fifteen schools.  The School Board has acknowledged the Foundation's intent to raise money for this express purpose.  The Foundation will monitor the School District's budgetary process to ensure that these funds are used in the manner intended.

Each year, the Foundation sets its financial goal for the year to help add or preserve teaching positions and support academic success in the West Linn-Wilsonville School District. In 2010-11, the Foundation was able to raise $100,000 and combine it with an additional $50,000 raised in past years, to give the West Linn-Wilsonville School District $150,000 to restore teaching positions for the 2011-12 school year.  Again in 2011-12, the Foundation was able to raise another $150,000 to preserve teaching positions for the 2012-13 school year. In the 2014-15 school year, we presented a check for $123,000. In 2015-16, we had our most successful Count Me In! campaign and thanks to the generosity of our community we were able to present the School Board with a check for $137,000. The 2016-17 year we were able to donate $114,000, and in 2017-18 we gave $100,000.

Thank you to our wonderful donors!
