Naming Rights Arts and Athletic Project 2025

Windom Schools has completed a facility study and identified significant facility improvements, specifically for arts and athletic programs, in the district.  The facility study identified a need for an Athletic Complex that would include a space for football, soccer, baseball, softball, track, a Fine Arts Center, a wrestling room, a gymnastics space, and a locker room remodel. 

Creating spaces that student athletes can be proud to play on, on campus, creates a sense of community and eagle pride.  Purchasing Naming Rights are available through Windom Area Schools. These funds will be used to bring down the costs of the overall project as well as create a fund for the long-term maintenance of the facilities. 

PURPOSE

The purpose of the Art and Athletics Fund at WAS is to:

  • Accumulate a substantial amount of money to support the Arts and Athletic Facility Projects at Windom Area Schools by selling naming rights to various parts of the project. 

DISTRIBUTION OF THE FUNDS

The funds will be controlled by the Windom Area Schools and applied to the project per the donor's request. 

WINDOM EDUCATIONAL FUND GOAL 

It is the goal of the Windom Area Schools to raise additional funding in donations or gifts to make improvements and additions for the betterment of the arts and athletic facilities for our students and community.

RECOGNITION OF GIFTS

Windom Area School District will recognize all gifts at the regular board meeting each month.

In addition, gifts listed in the naming rights plan below will entitle the donor to have an area named as the donor designates and approved by the board. The area will be “named” or “signed” with an official plaque, banner, or marquee designating the selected area. The naming rights will be in place for the lifetime of the facility and/or as long as the facility is in use by the Windom Area School District for educational purposes. The designation will occur upon completion of the project.  The initial naming/plaque/banner or marquee shall be paid for by Windom Area School District #0177.  Should the donor request at a future date that the plaque, banner, or marquee be changed or altered, the request will be evaluated and if approved the expense of that alteration will be the responsibility of the donor. 

The Windom Area School District reserves the right to add and adjust levels of giving and facility areas.
