Giving Opportunities

The purpose of the Foundation is to enhance all of Worth County youth’s educational experiences by supporting them through financial gifts provided by alumni and community members. Here are possible ways that you could help your hometown.

Annual Giving

The Annual Fund is the heart of the support provided by alumni and friends of Worth County R-III. These are primarily unrestricted dollars which allows the Foundation to apply funds to wherever there is the greatest need.

Scholarships

You are able to designate your giving to a specific scholarship that will be made available to a graduating Worth County senior to help them achieve their academic goals.

Estate Planning

Include the WCEF in your estate planning. Without a will, you lose control of the assets you’ve worked a lifetime to acquire. Leave a percentage of your assets to the WCEF. Consider using personal assets such as stocks and bonds, CDs, real estate, vehicles, or art for your gift. The donations of these gifts may even provide tax savings to your estate.

Honor a Loved One

Honor a loved one (birthday, anniversary, job promotions, etc.) by designating memorial gifts and honorariums to the Worth County Education Foundation and encourage others to do so!

Employer Match

Some employers will match your gift to the Foundation. Check with your employer to see if they will match your charitable donation.
