About WEF: The Wilmington Educational Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization whose purpose is to support the Wilmington Public School System. WEF does this by raising funds from private and corporate sources, and then awarding grants for innovative and creative programs that are not covered in the current year's school district budget.
WEF is "Wild About Wilmington Schools" because one of our community's greatest resources is our young people. Their potential for contributing to the vitality and success of our town in the future is closely related to the quality of the education they receive from Wilmington Schools today. We have a great school system now ~ WEF sets our sights on making it even better. We welcome you to view the pages in this site to see what WEF has accomplished recently and how you can join in our efforts, for the benefit of our students and our community.
