A14EF is a great nonprofit, delivering much needed support to an underfunded and marginalized school district. (I am a board member, have been for 6+ years now.) We fund mini-grants, over the years this has meant microscopes for science labs, instructional software teachers asked for, gap funding for a field trip, etc. We also fund scholarships, and while $2K or $3K doesn't fund a complete college education, we are able to provide that level of support for four years to approx 80 students at a time, 20+ every graduating class. The stories we hear at scholarship interviews would break your heart. The first interview I ever did, I sat down and the first packet said "Household Income: $4,200" and I asked "Is this monthly income or annual?" That was the student's entire annual income. And she was super qualified for college. (In that case, no parents, living with Grandma, only her income counts to her household, per FAFSA.) Every year we turn away beautiful and intelligent young people doing everything, or at least many, many things, right. The way they're supposed to. They just don't have money.
Money donated to the Adams 14 Education Foundation gets put to very good use. I guarantee it.
