White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation

Help WBLAEF Raise $15,000!

We connect a caring community with inspired educators
to create opportunities that help every student thrive.

Our mission is to enhance the White Bear Lake Area School District’s ability to provide excellence in education for every student. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, the Foundation has been able to support impactful projects that touch lives in our schools and across our community.

In the 2025-2026 school year alone, the Foundation awarded over $139,500 in scholarships to graduating seniors, $47,520 in classroom grants and continuing education opportunities for teachers, $17,050 from the Angel Fund to support students and families in need, and $5,230 for student travel experiences.

During recent years, donor support has also provided over $22,500 to assist students with mental health needs, $25,000 to the Bear Clinic at the high school for student health services, and $4,000 to help the WBLAHS Music Boosters purchase a grand piano.

Since 1993, the Foundation has distributed more than $3.2 million to teachers, students, and community members—including over $485,000 in basic and emergency support through the Angel Fund and The Closet.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the White Bear Lake Area Educational Foundation relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue this important work. Your support makes these opportunities possible—and ensures that every student has the chance to thrive.
