The Worthington Education Foundation funds grants for educators in our district to test emerging trends, conduct innovative research, and provide experiential learning for students, parents, and the community. Honor an Educator Finding a way to fully thank teachers, staff, and administrators can be a difficult task. The trustees of the Worthington Education Foundation are proud to provide a way for you to honor such individuals in a uniquely meaningful way through the Honor an Educator program. Donations are accepted by the Worthington Education Foundation in honor of any current or past Worthington School District employee. Those honored will receive a personalized certificate of appreciation acknowledging your gift, and their names will be shared with building principals, school administrators, and listed on the WEF website. Choosing to recognize an individual through this program will honor that special person and support the mission of the Worthington Education Foundation – to fund innovative, creative grants that enrich the learning experience of every Worthington student from pre-K through high school.

APPLY NOW Apply for a Grant The Fall 2019 Worthington Education Grant Cycle is now open. The goal of the WEF is to fund projects that support and enhance, but do not duplicate the educational programs of the Worthington School District. Applications may be submitted by any staff member of the Worthington School District. Successful grant projects will add value to students but aren’t in conflict with the current curriculum. Applications are due Monday, October 21, 2019. DOWNLOAD GRANT APPLICATION Take Action Join the Board Donate Now Worthington Education Foundation | Copyright © 2020
