Washington BRIDGE Education Foundation is an Illinois not-for-profit,  Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Over the spring and summer of 2021, community members donated their time and skills to put in place the fundamental elements for this education foundation. By connecting students, faculty, alumni, administrators, and community members, the founding board of directors are working to establish a long-term, self-sustaining financial base that will continue to benefit  local students for years to come. Funding grants, educational activities, and other positive reinforcements will enrich and inspire educational experiences for all students at all levels of academic performance as they bridge beyond secondary education.
