Five years ago, after seeing the positive impact the EAGLES Program https://www.theeaglesfoundation.org/ at Auburn University was having on families of students with Intellectual Disabilities and realizing the financial constraints the program's cost imposed on them, the three of us decided to create The EAGLES Foundation, a private non-profit dedicated solely to raising funding for scholarships for the families of the EAGLES students.
In the five years since the inception of The EAGLES Foundation, your generosity has enabled us to provide $296,000 in scholarships to EAGLES students, over $25,000 in direct student support to the EAGLES program, and build a scholarship endowment for the future. We are thrilled to let you know that we have reached a MAJOR MILESTONE in our fundraising efforts to provide scholarships to the families of the EAGLES students at Auburn University. Thanks to supporters like you who have joined us since 2019, we were able to execute our Scholarship Endowment with Auburn University, which is now poised to provide scholarships to the EAGLES students in perpetuity.
