Thanks to each of you – the Educational Advancement Foundation has experienced a 47% increase in net assets and a 55% growth in revenues. During this time we have been able to strengthen our platform and widen our impact. Over $600,000 in scholarship and community assistance grants were awarded during 2017 to 320 students and 7 community organizations. This brings our historical total to over $5 million awarded since our founding in 1980. EAF’s impact is also measured by the number of fully capitalized endowments managed by the Foundation.
