Fundraising Efforts

CAEEF was created in 2015 to benefit the students, staff and schools of the Crawford AuSable School District. The board of directors set an initial goal of $1 million to raise and invest and then use interest generated for college scholarships for seniors and grants for projects and programs in pre-K-12th grade classrooms.

As of spring 2021, we have awarded $59,300 in scholarships and $13,200 in grants.
 
As of September 2021 -- through the generosity of alumni, former students and friends -- CAEEF hit our initial fundraising goal of $1 million! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!

As of December 2022, the foundation had $1,221,556, so we have a start toward our second million dollars. You can help by making a gift of any size.

There are several reasons to consider a gift to CAEEF:

• Your contribution benefits students -- from pre-K children to high school seniors -- through our grants program.

• Your contribution helps GHS graduates with their college expenses through our scholarships program.

• Your contribution helps keep the CASD motto, "Growing to Greatness," alive for our students and graduates.

• Your contribution helps keep our state and national award-winning school district strong.

• Your contribution is tax-deductible to the full extent provided by law.

• Your single or annual contribution of any amount helps and is greatly appreciated.
