Weber School Foundation

What Weber School Foundation does

BIBB Weber School Foundation is a 501(c)-style nonprofit charitable foundation founded in 1976 and headquartered at 5320 Adams Ave Pkwy, Ogden, Utah. It operates as the dedicated fundraising and student-support arm of the Weber School District, serving students across 50+ schools in the district, from elementary through high school. The foundation's mission is to address student homelessness, food insecurity, lack of basic necessities, and financial barriers to school participation through a portfolio of grant programs, assistance programs, and on-site support facilities.

The foundation's core product surface is a suite of grant and assistance programs, including the Basic Needs Grant, Class Grants, Scholarships, School Grant, Special Needs Grant, Special Education Class Grant, Field Trips, Shoes For Tots, Snack Requests, and the Kind Fund. Its flagship initiative is the network of Teen Centers, opened in all six Weber School District high schools (Two Rivers, Bonneville, Roy, Fremont, Weber, and West Field), with the sixth and final center opening at West Field High School on August 14, 2025. Each Teen Center provides food pantries, hygiene items, showers, laundry facilities, kitchen spaces, study areas, and on-site advocates. The foundation also runs the "Gearing Up for Good" CTE partnership with Weber Innovation High School, where students repair donated bicycles for elementary students.

The foundation's revenue model is donations-based, with no pricing or fee structure. Income is generated through two major annual fundraising events (Christmas Tree Jubilee, which raised nearly $700,000, and Gifts From The Heart Golf Classic), structured giving (Impact for the Future Giving Program), corporate and community partnerships (Restaurant Sponsors, Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce), and episodic state legislative appropriations (over $1 million secured for Teen Centers). It operates with a lean team of 5 employees, governed by a board of directors under the umbrella of Weber School District, and is led by Executive Director Emily Oyler and Board President Jeremy Dunn.
