WAF is proud of the relationships we have developed with donors, prospective donors and community leaders. By nuturing these relationships, we have been able to convey a better understanding of charitable giving as it specifically relates to our community. Several generous individuals, families and businesses, including WAF board members, have contributed to building the Foundation’s endowment or creating their own endowment within the Foundation. In addition, others have made generous provisions for future funding of WAF through life insurance and estate planning.
