Giving at Wingra School

Philanthropic gifts to Wingra School represent a vitally important investment in our children’s education and the future of our community. Following are the opportunties to give to Wingra School.

Wings for Wingra Annual Fund

The Wings for Wingra Annual Fund is a yearly fundraising effort to support the current operations of the school. Each year, Wings for Wingra relies on generous gifts from Wingra parents, board members, alumni, alumni parents, grandparents, staff and friends. These gifts help enhance the day-to-day life of our students and staff by supporting key elements of our program, such as classroom equipment, staff salaries and development, technology, and tuition assistance. Learn more about the Wings for Wingra Annual Fund.

Capital Campaign

In 2007, an anonymous donor group gave Wingra School an amazing gift of $1 million to purchase the Dudgeon School building in which we had leased space for 35 years. In addition, these same donors provided a matching gift opportunity of $4 million to improve and expand the school.

Over the past two years, the school has been engaged in its first capital campaign and has been working with friends of Wingra School to obtain the financial support necessary to take advantage of this incredibly generous matching gift offer.

Joyce Perkins Scholarship Fund

Named after a beloved former Wingra School Director, the Joyce Perkins Scholarship Fund was created to provide tuition assistance for students to attend Wingra who would not otherwise be in a position to do so. Currently 20% of Wingra students receive tuition assistance -- that's one out of every five students. Only with the generous gifts from members of our extended school community, can we continue to provide this assistance.
