IECA Foundation Mission Statement

The mission of the IECA Foundation is to provide grants to non-profit organizations helping underserved youth and young adults map pathways to success.

Promise Statement

The IECA Foundation leverages the funds of IECA members, donors and event sponsors, to help underserved youth and young adults make educational choices.

Just as IECA consultants apply objective professional assessment, skilled individual counseling, and family engagement to help clients make thoughtful, positive life choices, the Foundation supports, through its grant-making, programs utilizing similar strategies for underserved youth and young adults.

Identifying and assessing small, under-noticed projects, the Foundation bolsters its effectiveness thanks to the sage advice, community awareness, and gifts of Association members and generous donors.

By investing — and reinvesting — in programs that produce pragmatic, measurable results for vulnerable youth and young adults, their families, and their communities, the IECA Foundation supports replicable models that bring forth students’ potential and nurture their aspirations into achievement.
