Donation Opportunities
We rely completely on donations to the WHS Foundation to fulfill our mission of improving the quality of education at Woodside High School.
All donations are tax-deductible. Contributions in any amount are gratefully appreciated. You can donate online on this page via PayPal or download a donation form to send to the WHSF.
Donations can be made to:
The General Fund
The General Fund provides our source of annual funding for critical current needs and opportunities for curriculum enrichment. Applications for these funds are received from staff, administration, and parents and reviewed by the Grant Committee of the Executive Board based on the Foundation criteria for “broad-based, substantial, and lasting impact on the entire school community.”

WHS Endowment
The WHS Endowment is a special fund dedicated to supporting ongoing programs that enrich the academic environment for students of all levels. Income from the fund is intended to provide long-term financial support for programs with proven track records that have lost their funding due to State and/or District budget cuts.
