Our History
Established in 1989, the Elizabethtown Area Education Foundation has evolved alongside the needs of Elizabethtown Area School District students and schools.
The Foundation began by supporting student scholarships and providing discretionary assistance to students. Over time, its role has grown to include support for innovative programs, targeted fundraising, District-identified priorities, alumni engagement, and major initiatives that create lasting opportunities for EASD students.
Today, the Foundation continues to evolve through initiatives such as Think Big and a shared commitment to helping students succeed—both now and in the future.
