The Foundation, established in 1992, is to solicit gifts from public and/or private sources; to manage and administer those gifts for the benefit of the students of the West Liberty Community School District.

Even though taxes and public funds provide for the basic education of our students, the Foundation supports projects and programs that cannot be readily funded within the school district’s operating budget . All areas of the curriculum are served : music, fine arts, literacy, science, math, social studies and vocational classes.

Monetary donations for any amount in the form of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance, real estate, annuities, trust funds, as well as cash, are welcomed and appreciated. Donors may designate the gift for current utilization or for endowment, whereby the gift is invested and preserved with the resulting income used annually. Gifts generally are deductible for income, estate, and inheritance tax purposes. Consult your attorney or tax advisor regarding specific tax questions. Donor’s wishes for public recognition or anonymity will be honored.

Run for the Schools

Each year MidWest One Bank sponsors a 5K race with the money supporting educational projects and facilities. Participating in the race or making a donation can enhance the funds.

Athletic Complex

Phase I of the Athletic Complex is already underway, new outdoor fields are being constructed and fundraising is still in progress to support Phase II, the indoor facility. For more information on the Athletic Complex please click this link: West Liberty Athletic Complex Info

Literacy

Books are needed for school and classroom libraries, as well as homes. Many students have no appropriate reading materials in their environments, and it is vital that they be exposed to a wide variety of literature.

Fine Arts

The Fine Arts Boosters have fundraisers throughout the year to supplement the music and drama programs. Private donations can also help. One example: supporting the rent or purchase of musical instruments for students who cannot afford them.

Field trips

Teachers depend on donations for field trips which are important learning opportunities as well as a chance for students to visit places they might never get to see.

Technology

This area changes so quickly that there is always a need to provide students with equipment for 21st century skills.

Playground

Equipment for the new Early Learning Center will be needed. The Elementary School playground equipment always needs to be updated and maintained.
