Donating to the EAA

Contributions not otherwise designated will be credited to the EAA General Fund. The General Fund may be used for normal EAA operations, or for other purposes as determined by the EAA Board of Directors.

The EAA Board of Directors may set up Special Funds for specifically identified projects. Such public benefit projects in support of the Association's mission may be limited in scope or geographical area.

However, donations to the General Fund are always strongly encouraged.

Special Funds are established to target specific projects and goals, and donors with a particular interest in these projects and goals are encouraged to contribute to existing Special Funds.

Any donor with a particular interest in a goal or project that has not been previously established is encouraged to propose establishment of a new Special Fund in writing to the Board of Directors. Please send proposals to [email protected].
