WiSH Education Foundation supports and enhances student programming that is either underfunded or for which there is no funding provided by tax dollars. The list of funded programs can change year to year as needs are assessed. Some of the foundation’s vital program initiatives include:

- Chromebook Program -Pre-COVID, this program provided out-of-circulation Chromebooks to keep, to anonymously identified, socioeconomically disadvantaged students needing computer access. Post-COVID, this program also provided Chromebooks to students needing access to distance learning, keeping them connected during school closures.
