ABOUT US
When there are thousands of Non-Profit Institutions requesting and needing your support, why select the Educational Foundation of the Americas. As many of us have learned, it is at least as difficult to make an effective impact with one’s financial resources as it was to earn them.
Large impact.
In addition to the university level, they support pre-university levels of education.
You can see or visit the result of your generosity.
They are currently focused on Mexico, since that is the source of much of our uncontrolled immigration. We can try to solve the problems after their arrival or improve their education before. The first is much cheaper and results in a healthier neighbor.
They do not give money for operational reasons. They believe the operational expenses, with rare exceptions, are the responsibility of the management of educational institution, not donors. They give money for capital investment and research only.
The Foundation Has a Proven Track Record in Supporting Bilingual Education in Latin America

Why Does the Foundation Seek to Support the Hispanic Community in the US and Mexico Through Model Institutions?
