Education can be an expensive endeavor, even at a public school. The Wilmington Foundation for Excellence helps to fill the monetary needs brought about by the changing financial picture of all school districts in Illinois.

Budget cuts and the changing educational landscape can sometimes prevent teachers from being able to supply the resources and materials they want and need to teach a particular skill or lesson. Our foundation enables them to apply for funds to purchase materials not provided for by the district. The foundation truly helps our educators make their classroom a place where learning comes alive.

The Wilmington School District No. 209-U Foundation is committed to provide funds to enrich the experiences and opportunities necessary to maximize the academic school-to-work and social growth of students, faculty, and administration.

Please visit our new Facebook page for continuous updates.

One of the foundation’s primary functions is to provide scholarships to students seeking higher education. View our current scholarships below.

Anyone interested in creating a new scholarship to be administered through the foundation, or wanting to make a donation in memory of a lost loved one, or simply in support of our young Wildcats getting ready to head out into college or the workforce can submit donations by check to the Wilmington Foundation for Excellence or by clicking on the donate button below.

Donations by check and all other written correspondence can be sent to:
