Help us support public schools
We know you care deeply about kids and public schools. We hope you’ll choose to support Wisconsin students and be the reason Wisconsin kids thrive by making a tax-deductible donation of any amount to the Wisconsin Alliance for Excellent Schools (WAES), the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan organization which fiscally sponsors our work.
Your sustaining support for Wisconsin students allows us to...
• Provide free trainings, workshops, and informational resources
• Support local teams in their communities with get-out-the-vote and voter education campaigns
• Offer support to referendum efforts
