• List of WCSD Approved Booster Clubs:

    Booster clubs are not directly affiliated with the District; they are formed by parents and community members in order to provide additional support for extracurricular activities (e.g., athletics, art, and/or musical groups). Booster clubs must register annually with the District, providing a variety of information, so that the District is aware of what organizations are holding themselves out as fundraising for District programs.

    The following booster clubs are registered with the District for the 2024-25 school year.  Please note that parents should use care when making donations to any organization, and that the District has no control over the finances of booster clubs.

  • Registration:
    The Wappingers Board of Education recognizes the need for community support of its programs.  As a way to ensure consistency of booster organizations throughout the District, a registration form must be on file each year.

    The booster club must be registered in order to begin any fundraising activities or request approval for overnight field trips. All clubs must fill out an Annual Booster Club Registration Form, which requests contact information for the booster club officers, along with proof of a federal tax ID number, by-laws, a letter from a bank confirming an open account in the name of the booster organization, and an estimated budget.  Once submitted, an email confirming the registration will be sent to the Club President.

    2. By-laws
    3. Dated letter from the bank stating the organization holds an account in good standing
    4. Annual Budget, including projected revenue and expenses

    Every booster organization needs to obtain a Federal Tax ID# or EIN.

Provide the district with proof by uploading a copy of the IRS EIN confirmation notice with your registration.
