Formed in 2004 with the goal of raising private funds to support educational enhancement for Wythe County Public Schools, the Foundation for Excellence has successfully raised over $750,000.00 towards that purpose. The Foundation for Excellence oversees the Summer Enrichment Program, Classroom Grants, School Grants, the PLAY Fund and the Award of Distinction scholarship program.
The Foundation for Excellence raises funds through direct fundraising, grant writing, events, and the payroll deduction program through Wythe County Public Schools. Currently, over 75 employees support the Foundation on a monthly basis with a financial contribution.
Although state funds for education have been drastically cut, the Foundation for Education continues to support educational excellence through enhancement funds made available to teachers and schools. None of these opportunities would be possible without the support of our community.
If you are a donor - thank you. We hope you will continue to remember the Foundation for Excellence and the work we are doing for Wythe County Schools when you contemplate your charitable giving.
If you are not yet a donor, we ask that you join us in our efforts to enhance education in Wythe County and encourage a love of learning in all our students. And remember, all donations are tax deductible.
