WIS Annual Fund 2025-2026 School Year

WIS is a community — and the Annual Fund is how our community takes care of its members. Every family that gives, at any level, helps fund the teachers, programs, and financial aid that make this school what it is. Collectively, your gifts make WIS stronger for every student in every classroom.

Just as there is great diversity in our community, we receive gifts of all sizes. Every gift matters, and there is no wrong amount. What matters most is that your family participates. Gifts of $1,966 or more will be permanently recognized in Le Centre Brown as part of WIS’s 60th Anniversary.

As we enter the final weeks of the school year, we’re making one last participation push to reach 500 family donors in this milestone year. When we get there, every class gets cookies and brownies at lunch on June 3. It’s our way of finishing our 60th year strong — together. Every family counts, and any gift gets you there.

500 families giving to the Annual Fund would put us at 75% family participation, one of the highest rates WIS has seen in years. The more families that participate, the more the Annual Fund can do, providing greater support for financial aid, faculty development, and the programs that make WIS special.

You’re already part of it — thank you! Your family counts toward our goal of 500. This includes Gala sponsorships, ticket purchases, and auction bids.
