ABOUT US

The Carnegie Wildcat Education Endowment Fund is not an organization. It is a way to give. It is a way to give to our community’s children, dedicated teachers and to build a legacy.

 

The idea of a foundation to benefit Carnegie Public Schools came to fruition on March 21, 2016. The mission and purpose of this organization is to establish and promote the growth of an endowment fund for the benefit of Carnegie Public Schools. The income from the
endowment funds will be used for the benefit of the school, 
students, and teachers.


We work with the Communities Foundation of Oklahoma (CFOK.org) to get the most out of the money we raise. They are a great partner with investing expertise for our funds and providing matching funds for the money we invest.

As of May 29, 2019, CWEEF is now its own 501 (c) 3. We will still partner with the Communities Foundation of Oklahoma. This will allow all gifts to be tax-deductible and enable CWEEF to apply for grants/funding more directly. 

Our great donors have enabled us to provide teacher grants for the last 3 years. Applications for these funds have increased each year as the teachers see what these funds can provide.
 

The Fund has an elected board of directors and holds annual meetings. Participation and input from interested parties are essential. The 2019 annual meeting was held Friday, April 26, during the Alumni Reunion.  The following board members and officers were elected.  During the meeting, the bylaws were amended to allow for an increase in board members.  If you think you would be interested in serving please contact Lynn Ann Dietrich, President, for more details.

The current board of directors is:

Lynn Ann Dietrich, President;

Micheal Longhat, Vice- President;

Sharon Wilson, Secretary-Treasurer;

Christi Harrison and Derrek Belase, members.
