You Can Make a Difference in the Educational Impact of AESA
The AESA Foundation supports innovation, research and development, and the programs of the Association of Educational Service Agencies (AESA).
Your donation of any size is appreciated and tax deductible. The AESA Foundation is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; EIN #31-1699547.
Donate in two ways . . . pay tribute to someone special or just make a general donation.
Is someone retiring from your ESA? Acknowledge an ESA colleague in a special way! Tributes make great gifts and express your appreciation in a unique and personal manner.
Support the AESA Foundation and honor someone special by paying tribute to them with a foundation donation. For a minimum contribution of $25, a personalized tribute will be sent to anyone you wish to honor – at any time of the year. Remember an ESA colleague - living or deceased - by sending a personalized tribute from the AESA Foundation.
Tribute donations to the AESA Foundation support projects of the Association of Educational Service Agencies (AESA), assisting ESAs and exemplifying leadership opportunities across the nation. Tributes are a wonderful way to give a gift and support educational service agencies.
Tributes can be purchased year-round and can even be made as an annual contribution. Donations can be made online using the "Dedicate my Donation..." button below. Provide the information requested for each Tribute.
For more information contact AESA Foundation Coordinator Tina Viletto at tviletto@aesa.us.
* Gifts to the AESA Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Your generous donations enable the AESA Foundation to fund creative ideas and projects for AESA!
A Message from Foundation Chair Jerry Maze
AESA Foundation
Helping AESA Stay Ahead of the Curve
When AESA completed its strategic visioning process, a members’ only online platform was identified as a way to connect ESAs to ESAs. With the foundation’s investment, the vision became real! The AESA Community is an online platform for easy, two-way ESA-to-ESA communication and sharing. (The AESA Community is home to the Affinity Groups too!)
Investing in Leadership: Past, Present, Future
Sometimes our future work requires caretaking the past. AESA completed a research archive by gathering research papers, articles, and information relevant to the work of ESAs and made it available for all members. This ongoing effort is gaining traction as a go-to resource for current and future leaders.
Benefiting AESA and its Members
AESA's Foundation's activities benefit member agencies by promoting business relationships. The Foundation is willing to team with other organizations in mutually agreed-upon relationships that further the activities of the Foundation. Participation in the Foundation is determined solely by the Foundation itself.
Businesses that are interested in working with the AESA Foundation are eligible to do so through a pledge of cash, in-kind service, or resources such as stocks, bonds, or real estate.
Please contact Tina Viletto, AESA Foundation Coordinator, for more information.
