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.
