Welcome to the IECA Foundation
Our Mission
For twenty five years the IECA Foundation has served as the charitable arm of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, the nation’s leading professional organization for educational advisors in private practice. The Foundation leverages knowledge, professional skills and funds provided by IECA members, sponsors, and donors to help underserved students map pathways to success.
Welcome from the Chair
“On behalf of the IECA Foundation (IECAF) Board of Trustees, I want to begin by thanking all of our friends, partners, and supporters. The landscape of this profession, and education more broadly, has evolved significantly since the Foundation was founded more than 25 years ago. What hasn’t changed is the incredible commitment our loyal supporters have had on behalf of underserved students across the country. Thank you.” - Phil Cocchiola, Chair of IECA Foundation Board of Trustees
Grants
Each year grants are made to small, lesser known programs and projects that produce pragmatic, measurable results for young people whose needs are often not met. These smaller organizations are often off the radar screen of larger grant making entities.
“We are so grateful for the IECA Foundation's continued support of our mentoring program. Our Scholars need us more than ever and it is really heartwarming that they can continue to rely on your generous support.”
Danielle Verbiest, The Abramson Scholarship Foundation
