Double the Impact for Worcester Students
The Worcester Education Collaborative “Match the Moment” campaign is a community-driven fundraising initiative focused on creating stronger, more equitable outcomes for students and families across Worcester. Thanks to a generous $10,000 matching grant from the Esler Family Foundation, every donation made during this campaign will be doubled to maximize community impact.
Funds raised will help increase literacy in our community, advance educational equity, provide meaningful support for caregivers and educators that are supporting children in the Worcester Public Schools, and propel trauma-informed practices forward throughout our schools and community spaces. Together, we can help create learning environments where every child, family, and educator feels supported, empowered, and equipped to thrive.

Become a sponsor
Partner with the Worcester Education Collaborative (WEC) and play a vital role in advancing educational excellence and equity for Worcester Public School students. As the city’s only independent organization dedicated exclusively to strengthening the education ecosystem, WEC brings together families, educators, community organizations, and civic leaders to drive meaningful, student-centered change.
Sponsorship of WEC is more than event recognition — it is an investment in a community-driven approach that strengthens systems, elevates community voice, and supports initiatives that improve learning, literacy, and long-term student success. Our sponsors are recognized as leaders who believe every child deserves access to high-quality, inclusive education and the opportunity to thrive.
We offer a range of partnership and event sponsorship opportunities throughout the year, including our signature convenings such as the John E. Bassett Symposium, Caregiver Education Summit, Equity Summit (WOOSAH), and Principal for a Day — each designed to inform, connect, and mobilize the Worcester education community.
Your partnership helps ensure that critical conversations, research-informed advocacy, and family engagement continue to shape a stronger future for our city’s students.
Have questions on a particular sponsorship? We encourage you to email our Executive Director, Dr. Jennifer Herring, for more information.
