Celebrate someone who has made a difference in your life or in the snowsports community.
Honorary and memorial gifts are a meaningful way to recognize an instructor, mentor, colleague, friend, or loved one while supporting educational opportunities for others.
To make a tribute gift, members can include the person’s name in the gift note in the Member Portal. Nonmembers can include it with a mailed check, or enter it in the dedication field of the online donation form.

Endowments
An endowment provides long-term support for snowsports education. Endowment contributions are invested, with distributions supporting scholarships or other designated educational purposes in accordance with the fund agreement and the Foundation’s spending policies.
Donors interested in establishing an endowment may work with the Foundation to identify an appropriate purpose and develop a gift agreement.
The minimum contribution to establish a new endowment or other donor-designated fund is $25,000. Gifts of any amount are welcome to support the Foundation’s general fund or an existing scholarship fund.
Legacy Gifts
You can make snowsports education part of your lasting legacy by including the Eastern Education Foundation in your estate plans.
A bequest or other planned gift can help future generations of instructors pursue their educational and professional goals.
If you are considering a gift through your estate and would like to establish a scholarship for a specific purpose, we encourage you to contact us before finalizing your plans. We can help you understand the Foundation’s guidelines and work with your estate-planning advisor to ensure your wishes can be honored.
