ABOUT US
Awakening lost hope and dreams by walking alongside future leaders and changemakers of our community.

OUR WHY


We know there's a lot of life that gets in the way of kids' chances for success. By walking alongside kids, believing in them, and removing barriers, we give them hope that anything is possible. With that single grain of hope, their world widens a bit more, and hope is born.
The goal of the West40 Education Foundation is to be the financial visionary, offering funding opportunities for creative projects by our West40 staff and the families we serve. Our vision is to encourage and support these innovative ideas, becoming a regional model of excellence. We combine philanthropy with public education to bring together a community and promote new partnerships.
The Foundation is a 501c3, not-for-profit organization, guided by a socially responsible volunteer board of directors who are engaged in the success of the students we serve.
WHO DO WE SERVE
Every student in West Cook County - regardless of their past or circumstances - who have lost hope and need help in getting back on track towards a chance for success.
