THE EAGLE ENDOWMENT: MOVING IDEAS INTO ACTION

While many student groups formulate thoughtfully developed ideas for public and community service,few actually have the funds to put them into action. The Eagle Endowment will address this challenge and empower AU students by providing over $5,000 in annual grants of $100 - $1000 to students and groups that propose such initiatives. 


These one-time awards are intended to support groups in their earliest planning and implementation phases, providing them with seed funds to launch visions for service. Read more about our past grant recipients. There are three different opportunities for funding throughout the school year: the Freshman Service Experience Grant to continue service at your FSE site, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Grant to promote social justice, and the Spring Grant that supports all types of public and community service initiatives.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2012-2013 MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. GRANT RECIPIENTS

Employment Resource Clinic for Recently Released Juvenile Offenders- Ben Derby

Juveniles face several obstacles, including ineffective transitional services and poor access to essential resources, such as occupational and educational opportunities, when they return to their original communities. A resource clinic for recently released juveniles trying to transition back into their communities is essential for gaining meaningful employment. Three main objectives towards the project goal are to provide an employment resource clinic, individualized support from trained professional volunteers for participants, and implementation with long-term sustainability in mind in order to capitalize on future needs.

Looking for Funding?

The first Eagle Endowment Grant opportunity is open to students who participate in the Freshman Service Experience who wish to return to their project site in August 2012!
