We are thrilled to announce that Jill Aguiar has been selected as an honoree at the 2024 Yolo Philanthropy Awards! Jill joins a group of incredible individuals and groups that have gone above and beyond to make a lasting impact in their communities. Jill will be honored at the Yolo Community Foundation Philanthropy Awards on November 19th at the California Agricultural Museum in Woodland.

Jill Aguiar has been a board member for the Winters Education Foundation (WEF) for more than ten years. Formally she serves as secretary, but she is much more—she steps in for the board president when he is away, she works alongside the treasurer, and she facilitates communication between WEF and all of the schools in Winters JUSD. She plays a key role in the mini grants program that is WEF’s core program enhancing Winters’s classes. All of this is part of her greater role in our community. She volunteers in support of PTA, she assists with Future Farmers, she works in the schools. Jill is part of the connective tissue that makes Winters a special community.

Jill is a treasure, and we are proud to have her as a valued member of the Winters Education Foundation Board.

YOUR DONATIONS SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS!

WEF relies on your generous donations to fund programs that have a direct impact in our schools. Last year WEF distributed over $20000 in mini grants to our schools to support expanded educational offerings. And though we were thrilled to offer these grants the need indicated by grant requests was over $40,000! As a board we had some very difficult decisions to make. This fall WEF will again be distributing mini grants and we know the need will again be great.  You can give anytime and support our mission.

YOUR DONATIONS MATTER!

Dear Winters Education Foundation supporters,

Winters is a wonderful community. Still, like young people from other small towns, students from Winters encounter financial, technological, and infrastructure challenges that can limit their future opportunities —  challenges the school district’s limited budget cannot address.

That’s where Winters Education Foundation (WEF) comes in. Our sole purpose is to expand educational offerings in our public schools and ensure that vital and innovative programs — cherished by teachers, administrators, parents, and students — are not victim to budgetary shortfalls. An all-volunteer team, we strive to put every dime contributed by community members like you toward our mission to foster “continued educational excellence and equal educational opportunities for every child in a Winters public school.”

Thanks to your generosity WEF has been able to fund projects proposed by educators throughout the district for the past 13 years. From technology that introduces students to coding to scholarships that subsidize the cost of outdoor education, from culturally relevant books to physical education equipment, your gifts to WEF make enhanced educational opportunities possible for Winters students!

Donating to WEF is fulfilling and easy by mailing a check to Winters Education Foundation at P.O. Box 1047, Winters, California 95694 or clicking on this DONATION LINK. Please indicate if you would like your donation to go to our grant program or our endowment fund. Donations not so noted will be placed in our grant program fund.

As always, thank you for your support!
