Sustaining Partners

Our sustaining partners are crucial to the sustainability of WPY’s impactful programming

These partners offer significant ($15,000+) or multi-year contributions and embody our values of belonging, collaboration, compassion, courageous honesty, and centering youth. Sustaining partners make it possible for us to serve hundreds of Waltham students and families per year via our Career Exploration & Training and Wraparound Waltham initiatives.

Thank you to our sustaining partners: Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Cummings Foundation, The Clowes Fund, The Ludcke Foundation, Boston Children’s Hospital, Marriott Daughters Foundation, City of Waltham, and Someone Else’s Child.
