Integrity calls us to
Community calls us to
. . . gather in joyous service to each other and the land
Equity calls us to
. . . take our place alongside others working towards a more just world
. . . confront societal forces that divide, degrade, and dehumanize
For 2023, prospective and returning camp families will be able to see their financial contribution to camp up front--before they enroll—based on their family’s annual income. As a result, more families will see that our programs are within their budget, and we will increase the socio-economic diversity of our camp families—something that we know is important to all of us.
We also know we need to do more to attract, engage, and support new families—especially BIPOC and lower income families--and campers so they see F&W as a place where they belong!
Our expanded Campership Program will enable us to make F&W programs more affordable and attract and support more new families who belong here - just like you.
Our expanded Campership Program will serve 200 - 220 families!
The costs to do this work well are significant as are the benefits to families and to our entire F&W community.
The overall Expanded Campership Program will cost $1,050,000 per year. This includes $800,000 in tuition assistance and $250,000 for wrap-around supports.
Funding Plan:
To support this program, F&W's endowment will fund $250,000 per year, F&W will raise $300,000 through grants, and we seek to raise at least $500,000 per year through donations by the F&W community.
