Jill Aguiar

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.

Welcome to the Winters Education Foundation (WEF)!


Our mission:

To raise sufficient funds to ensure continued
educational excellence and equal educational
opportunities for every child in a Winters public school
classroom.

What:   The Winters Education Foundation (WEF)

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Winters, CA. Our
mission is to support excellence in the Winters public schools by
raising the necessary funds for district-wide programs that schools are
no longer able to provide, and to promote equitable opportunities
among all the schools in Winters. WEF raises money within our
community to subsidize our schools in response to the needs of all
our children.

Who:    Concerned people just like YOU!

Are YOU a part of the WEF? We are people just like you! We are
volunteers: parents, grandparents, community members, graduate
students, educators, and administrators -- all working to make it
possible for our school to better meet the educational and cultural
needs of our children.
We want your help and your financial support!

Why:   Should YOU care about the WEF?

State support for public school students in California is among the
lowest in the nation and is based largely on enrollment numbers. Every
year Winters enrolls fewer children in our public schools, which
further cuts the available funds used to educate and enhance our
children's school experience.

Although our nation's economic crisis has worsened the problem, it is
not a short term problem and will not fix itself in time for our children!
Ultimately, WE are responsible for ensuring that our children have
the tools they need to benefit from the instruction they receive. When
and where gaps exist, those of us who care for our children, their
future, our community, and the potential of our country, MUST step
in.

If we unite on behalf of our shared future, we will make the Winters
schools some of the very best - and our children will thank us!
