About FRIENDS OF WALGROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Friends of Walgrove (F.O.W.) is the parent booster 501(c)(3) organization supporting Walgrove Avenue Elementary School in Los Angeles (Mar Vista). The group raises community donations and secures grants to fund teachers, specialist programs, curriculum enrichments, and campus initiatives that LAUSD does not fully provide. In recent years Friends of Walgrove has supported and staffed signature programs — including the Walgrove Wildlands and edible garden, a STEAM Studio, P.S. Arts theater programming, a dedicated P.E. teacher, and classroom teacher aides — and continues to run regular community fundraising events (auction, Holiday Market, online pledge campaigns) and volunteer-driven campus projects. The organization maintains an active web presence and donor-facing operations, and it reports multi-hundred-thousand-dollar annual revenues and a stable asset base in its most recent filings.
