Woburn Community Educational Foundation, Inc.
About
The Woburn Community Educational Foundation is a private nonprofit created to increase private investment and community involvement in the Woburn Public Schools. Its central aim is supporting teachers so they can bring creativity and innovation into the classroom. The foundation turns community support into grants, recognition programs and events that connect the wider city with its schools. Community members take part by honoring teachers, donating and joining events.
Each year the foundation awards Educator Grants for classroom projects across disciplines and grade levels; in 2024 it funded 29 grants worth more than $28,000 for items such as hands-on learning tools, musical instruments and classroom technology. Its Woburn’s Awesome Teacher program lets residents send tributes to educators, with 146 teachers honored in 2024. The foundation also runs a winter raffle stocked with donated prizes from local supporters.
