Today is GivingTuesday, the global day of unity and giving! This year, the AESA Foundation invites you to make a meaningful impact on future educational leaders.
Through the AESA Foundation, we empower ESAs nationwide by providing resources, leadership development, and innovative opportunities that strengthen their ability to serve schools and communities.
This Year’s Focus: Removing Barriers to Leadership
In 2024, the Foundation launched a new scholarship initiative to expand access to AESA’s Executive in Residence Program and Leadership Academy. These scholarships are designed to remove financial barriers, enabling individuals to gain the tools, mentorship, and experiences that prepare them for leadership in education.
Your support today will help us grow this initiative, allowing more future leaders to benefit from these transformative programs.
- Donate: Every contribution brings us closer to funding scholarships that change lives. Visit the "My Membership Portal" page to make your gift.
- Spread the Word: Spread the word on social media using #GivingTuesday and let your friends and colleagues know why supporting the AESA Foundation matters to you.
Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to the AESA Foundation. Let's make this GivingTuesday the most impactful one yet!
