About the FWCS Foundation
The Fort Wayne Community Schools Foundation generates and distributes financial resources to support FWCS in achieving its mission to educate all students to high standards enabling them to become productive, responsible citizens. It is legally separate from FWCS and it recognized by the IRS as exempt under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Donations to the FWCS Foundation will be used to support educational programs that are proving to be successful. These include the b Instrumental Program and the Teacher Grant Program. The b Instrumental Program provides musical instruments to middle and high school students. The Teacher Grant Program encourages and recognizes innovative educational strategies in the classroom. Donations may also be unrestricted to fund innovation in new programs or educational tools that have the potential to help FWCS achieve academic improvements.
