About the West Des Moines Community Schools Foundation
Building on Traditions of Excellence
The West Des Moines Community Schools (“WDMCS”) Foundation benefits the students, teachers, and school district by offering quality fundraising and accounting resources for WDMCS.
The Foundation began in 1988 as an independent, non-profit organization that works closely with the school district administration, staff, and community to provide resources for students. We strive to encourage student participation, creative teaching, and community-school partnerships by making funds available to all 13 schools in the district.
