When you donate to the Foundation, you’re not only enriching a local child’s education today, you’re helping to support the White Salmon Valley schools of tomorrow.
Giving to Schools
The WSVEF now awards at least $50k annually to our public schools. We work in a collaborative partnership with the District to fund grant applications from administrators, teachers, students, and community members to enrich curriculum, supply 21st century materials and tools, and provide professional development for staff.
