April: Waltham Education and Beyond Foundation

Waltham Education and Beyond Foundation

Waltham Education and Beyond Foundation [WEBF] was founded in 2007 to serve as a fresh and important resource for ensuring educational excellence in Waltham.

WEBF’s mission is to broaden community support to help achieve educational excellence for all students in Waltham Public Schools. Their approach is to fund projects that are beyond the scope of the regular school budget.

Through a grant process WEBF distributes funds in support of innovative ideas and projects that promote academic achievement, excitement in learning and instruction and to promote new educational ideas and initiatives. Although WEBF is independent of the Waltham Public Schools, they work closely with the school department to ensure their grants reinforce school system goals.

This month’s beneficiary

The Winter Quarter theme is FIGHTING HOMELESSNESS. We're proud to give our support this month to the Pine Street Inn which "provides a comprehensive range of services, including permanent supportive housing, job training, emergency shelter and street outreach to over 1,300 homeless men and women each day."
