We know there are many deserving charities, but if you have a few spare dollars, please consider donating to the Willington Scholarship Foundation to help our students afford post-secondary education. We have a 2018 goal to raise $4,000 from Willington residents and supporters who did not donate in 2017. We are barely half-way there, so if you can, please help us reach our goal. No donation is too small, and every dollar will help fund need-based and merit scholarships for Willington students. To send a contribution, mail to The Willington Scholarship Foundation; P.O. Box 194; Willington, CT 06279. Or you can donate online, using the "Donate Now" button above.
