WCEF
Since 1983, Murwood and seven other Walnut Creek public schools have relied on parent donations to the Walnut Creek Education Foundation TK-12 (WCEF) to ensure the education your child receives goes beyond what the state funds. Sadly, state funding does not cover the cost of our art, music, science lab; as well as world languages and additional electives in our middle schools, libraries, math support, and much more.
It’s up to us. And it won’t happen without your support.
WCEF asks every family to make a tax-deductible investment toward your child’s education. From monthly donations to Venmo, gifts of stock to dine outs, matching gifts to donating your car, there is a way for all families to participate.
To learn more and donate, visit wcefk12.org/donate
WCEF TK-12 is a non-profit 501(c)(3) federal tax ID #94-2915151.
