The Foundation for West Hartford Public Schools

It’s back to school time…

Let’s support our dedicated teachers and enrich the classroom experiences of WHPS students by donating to The Foundation for West Hartford Public Schools!

The Foundation for West Hartford Public Schools is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing educational experiences by providing financial support for unique and inspiring programs in West Hartford public schools. Twice a year, certified WHPS teachers apply for grants that showcase creativity, innovation and align with the school curriculum. Application are evaluated on educational merit and potential impact on student learning.

The Foundation for WHPS relies on community support to fund these exceptional educational programs. Individuals, families, businesses, civic groups and alumni across the country help to bring these wonderful learning experiences to West Hartford public school students.

Since its founding in 1997, the Foundation has awarded over $2,100,000 in grants to hundreds of classrooms across all 16 WHPS schools.
