SPOTLIGHT
Mother Caroline
Academy and Education
Center is a tuition-free
independent school
for girls in grades 3-8,
serving traditionally
underresourced Boston
neighborhoods.
The school serves students of all faiths, races and cultures
and empowers girls to think bigger and bolder through
educational excellence, leadership development and community
stewardship while in a safe space that fosters social and
emotional learning.
WFBoston has cumulatively provided $210,000 of funding
to Mother Caroline Academy (MCA) over four grants. In 2022,
WFBoston awarded a $75,000 grant to fund a professional
consultant to develop a marketing and admissions strategy to
best execute MCA’s new expansion plan to serve girls in
grades K-3.
Since 2020, WFBoston has sponsored MCA’s main fundraiser
and provided COVID Response Fund funding of $5,000 to help
cover pandemic expenses for personal protective equipment,
cleaning and additional staff. In 2020, we also awarded MCA a
two-year $120,000 grant for a new outreach and admissions
coordinator to boost enrollment, improve diversity and
reach the broader community.
