How to Donate to the AEF
Gifts
Thank you for considering a donation to the Amarillo Education Foundation! Contributions from community members and businesses are the crux of the Foundation, and all gifts are greatly appreciated and help provide educational opportunities for students of the Amarillo Independent School District.
There are a number of ways you can help the AEF, including:
- Personal gifts of cash or securities
- Pledges paid monthly, quarterly, or annually
- Payroll deduction for AISD employees
- Memorial gifts to honor loved ones
- Honorariums to recognize individuals (perhaps favorite teachers) who have touched your life
- Estate gifts left in your will, trust fund, or insurance
- Gifts of real estate
- In-kind or cash-equivalent gifts such as property, collections, royalties, merchandise, or equipment
- Gifts of time and talents as a volunteer or serving as an AEF Board Member
Because the Amarillo Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3), gifts are tax deductible. If you are interested in giving a gift to the Amarillo Education Foundation or would like to volunteer your time and talents, please contact the Executive Director, Susan Stevenson, at 356-4889 or amarilloeducationfoundation@amaisd.org.
The Rick Husband Memorial Endowment Fund
You can designate donations to the Rick Husband Memorial Endowment Fund. This fund was established by the AEF in the spring of 2003 to honor the memory of Amarillo native and astronaut Rick Husband. The Fund, which was started with seed money in the amount of $17,000, will be used to benefit as many students as possible in the Amarillo Independent School District.
