Foundation Background

In October of 2019, a small group of educators and community members gathered to discuss plans for the establishment of an organization to support the work of Wake Forest Elementary School.  
Please join us as We Fund Experiences for Students!

Endowment Fund

In celebration of the school’s 100th anniversary of serving our community and its 2023 designation as Wake Forest iSTEM Magnet Elementary School, the Foundation hosted our first post-COVID community event in March of 2023 at the Wake Forest Birthplace.  As a designated iSTEM magnet school, WFES offers enhanced STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs with an emphasis on investigation and innovation. In addition, both enrollment and staffing of the school are increasing.

In response to tremendous positive feedback and encouragement from various community members and alumni of the school, the Foundation is launching an Endowment Fund.  The Endowment Fund will allow the Foundation to provide recurring support that will grow with the school.

Donations can be made online through our website at www.wakeforestesfoundation.org or by mailing a check to WFES Foundation at PO Box 1266, Wake Forest, NC 27588. Checks may be made to WFES Foundation.  Donations can also be made in honor of or in memory of current or former students or staff at WFES.

Thank you for your consideration and support.  Please let us know if you have any questions or would like additional information about the Foundation and the Endowment Fund.  We can be reached via email at winstead.teresa@gmail.com.
