WCEF TK-12 FinancialS

Each year WCEF undergoes an audit and submits tax filings per state and federal requirements. But beyond those basics for any nonprofit, we take transparency seriously and work hard to ensure that each and every donation supports education in the most direct way possible.

We lean on volunteers, partners, our districts, and others to keep fundraising costs incredibly low. In 2022-23, our fundraising costs were just 3.5% of total monies raised. We are proud to have earned the Platinum Transparency from Candid, a leader in nonprofit research.

Our schools would not be able to deliver the type of excellent STEAM learning opportunities our students experience every day without WCEF support. We simply do not receive enough funding from the state to operate these high quality programs. WCEF fills that gap. WCEF support is invaluable to ensuring great schools in Walnut Creek.
– Marie Morgan, WCSD Superintendent
