Thank You to Our Fundraising Partners

Your contributions help sustain in-person programs, virtual programs and inclusion services.

Because of the labor intensive nature of our programs, the constant fluctuation of part-time staff needs, and the rising
costs overall, we continually need to bridge the gap between the cost of programming and the support received through
member district contributions. That gap is filled through the generosity of grantors and donors.
The WDSRA Foundation assists with scholarships, vehicle purchases, program supplies, inclusion services, special
projects, and more. Funds are generated through donations, sponsorships, events, appeals, and more. All proceeds
benefit WDSRA participants and families.

Possibilities Society Members

Possibilities Society members make a significant, multiyear commitment over the course of 5 years in support of WDSRA
participants & families. *Denotes Possibilities Society members.

WDSRA Scholarship Endowment

The WDSRA Scholarship Endowment has a fund balance goal of $750,000. Once in place, this fund and the earnings it
produces, will fulfill our typical annual scholarship need and more in perpetuity. This is a sustainable way to meet the needs
of current and future participants & families. + Denotes donors who gave to the endowment.
