Mission

The Lake Washington Schools Foundation (LWSF) raises funds and amplifies community resources to provide students in Lake Washington School District (LWSD) what they need to thrive, both now and in the future.

Description

Help Every Student Thrive—Now and in the Future

At Lake Washington Schools Foundation, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to succeed—regardless of the challenges they may face. Together with our community, we remove barriers, support wellness, build connections, and enhance learning for more than 30,000 students across Lake Washington School District.

Your GiveBIG donation makes a direct impact on students and families right here in our community.

It helps provide weekend food through Pantry Packs for over 1,100 students each week. It connects families to mental health support through Care Solace. It pairs students with caring adult mentors through LINKS Lunch Buddies. It ensures students see themselves reflected in the books they read through inclusive library collections. And it expands access to programs like Find Your Fit, helping students navigate their path to college and beyond.

And that’s just part of the story. From funding programs that remove barriers to creating opportunities that help students feel connected and supported, we do so much more to help students thrive. Learn more about our work: https://www.lwsf.org/our-work/

As needs continue to grow—from rising food insecurity to increasing demand for mental health support—your generosity helps us respond quickly and meaningfully.

When you give, you’re not just supporting programs—you’re showing students they are seen, supported, and valued.

Join us this GiveBIG and be part of a community that shows up for students—every day.
