Grant Opportunities
The Wallingford Education Foundation (WEF) is committed to improving opportunities for students, educators, and other school staff one grant at a time. Over $200,000 has been raised and awarded for this purpose. Each March, employees of Wallingford Public Schools are encouraged to apply for one of two grants: the Educational Impact Grant or the Professional Development Grant. The WEF distributes on average $10,000 annually in grants to Wallingford staff members. Additionally, through its Signature Projects campaign, the WEF supports large dollar requests from the Wallingford school district.
