WALNUT CREEK EDUCATION FOUNDATION
WCEF TK-12
WCEF TK-12 is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that raises money to close the public education funding gap and help deliver comprehensive programs and wellness initiatives to ensure every student reaches their full potential.
California ranks
well below
the national average when it comes to per student public school funding.
Here in Walnut Creek, our 5,000 students receive even less than the California average due to how our schools are funded. That's why your donations to WCEF are critical to what programs are offered at our schools, from the first day through graduation.
