Wornick’s Culture of Philanthropy

Chai Excellence Fund 2022

Wornick’s culture of philanthropy manifests in the outstanding generosity of our community and their commitment to support Wornick. The investment of volunteer time and financial resources from our families ensures our offering of exceptional Jewish educational experience to all of our students.

Chai Excellence Fund

Our annual fund, Chai Excellence Fund, is the community commitment to support everything you love about Wornick. Each year, the generosity of Wornick parents, alumni, grandparents, alumni parents, professional community, and friends allows us to create exceptional opportunities and experiences for our students. While tuition supplies a strong financial base, philanthropy empowers and enriches our educators and directly impacts our students.

We are honored and grateful that traditionally 100% of our parents, board of directors, and professional community have donated annually. This illustrates the remarkable dedication our closest community members have to maintain Wornick’s unique environment and education.
