  • WPSBC Foundation Support Initiatives

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOL FOR BLIND CHILDREN FOUNDATION WAS CREATED IN 2019 TO ENSURE THE LEGACY AND FUTURE OF THE SCHOOL. BEING A SEPARATE ENTITY, THE FOUNDATION CAN FOCUS ON FUNDRAISING AND MANAGING INVESTMENT FUNDS WHILE WPSBC ADMINISTRATORS AND EDUCATORS CAN FOCUS ON EDUCATING STUDENTS AND NURTURING THEIR UNIQUE ABILITIES. THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED OVER $7.5 MILLION OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SCHOOL. $6 MILLION WAS USED TO ASSIST WITH OPERATING EXPENSES AND MEET THE EVER-CHANGING NEEDS AND MEDICAL COMPLEXITIES OF THE STUDENTS. THE REMAINING CONTRIBUTIONS WERE USED TOWARD SPECIAL PURPOSE PROJECTS, INCLUDING THE PURCHASE OF A PROPERTY INTENDED FOR THE EXPANSION OF ADULT PROGRAMMING AS WELL AS THE "CELEBRATE THE ART OF LEARNING" EVENT DESIGNED TO SHOWCASE STUDENT ARTWORK AND RAISE AWARENESS IN THE COMMUNITY.
