Ways to Give to AKEF
Scholarship Contributions support the general scholarship fund. One hundred percent (100%) of these funds are awarded to students for scholarships to support direct college expenses.
Class Scholarships are a fun way of involving members of your high school graduating class to raise funds to send current graduating seniors from your alma mater to college or vocational training. Challenge rival schools or graduating classes to do the same. See who can win bragging rights for sending more students to school!
In Memoriam Scholarships can be established to honor the memory of someone important in your life. What better way to cherish the memory of that special person than by investing in the future of a young person? Set criteria that pays homage to your loved one and commemorates their life’s work by giving a scholarship in their name.
Endowment/Planned Giving contributions ensure that everything that AKEF does will continue to happen in the future. Endowments also offer an opportunity to recognize someone in perpetuity by naming a permanent scholarship in a designated amount.
Matching Gifts can double your contribution through this simple program. Many employers are willing to match donations made to non-profit organizations by their employees. Please request a corporate gift form from your employer and submit it with your contribution.
Stocks are another way you can give to AKEF. A gift in the amount of appreciated stock may provide you with capital gains tax advantages. Please consult your tax advisor or attorney prior to any transactions to confirm the specific benefits of your contribution.
