Wabec Foundation - Waynesboro Area Business, Education, Community Foundation

The Waynesboro Area Business, Education, and Community (WABEC) Foundation seeks to establish and promote activities that build links between schools, businesses, and the community-at-large in the Waynesboro area with the goal to increase community involvement in education for all students. In an era of significantly reduced state budget support, the WABEC Foundation was incorporated to provide a means for donors to contribute resources that support student learning and achievement. The sole intent is to enhance student and community life in the Waynesboro Area School District.

History:
Waynesboro Area Business and Education Consortium Board voted on January 7, 1999 to become a Foundation and change its name to the Waynesboro Area Business, Education, and Community Foundation. The Foundation had its first Board meeting on May 6, 1999. The Foundation is organized for charitable and educational purposes as defined in Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. All contributions will be tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The Foundation's philosophy is that if the children, the school district, and the community are to excel scholastically, culturally, and socially, the Foundation must upgrade facilities, sustain ongoing educational youth programming and lay the groundwork for the future program funding, to meet the needs of the 21st century.
