The Aurora East Educational Foundation (AEEF) was established in 1993 and is a not-for-profit tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) corporation. Organized under the laws of the State of Illinois, the AEEF provides funds and resources for the enhancement and enrichment of the educational programs and activities of East Aurora School District 131. The AEEF attracts private funds and resources to support programs and services not funded with tax dollars.

The AEEF is directed by a group of private citizens, many of who are graduates of East Aurora High School or are district residents who serve without compensation. The efforts of AEEF are supported by the Board of Education.

AEEF Endowment Fund

Within three short years from its founding in 1993, the Aurora East Educational Foundation (AEEF) met its first goal of establishing an endowment fund. The interest from that endowment is used to fund educational programs in East Aurora School District 131 – programs that would otherwise not exist for lack of financial support. During its history, the foundation has funded scores of programs that have touched the lives of thousands of students throughout East Aurora School District 131.

The AEEF continues to support the graduating students of East Aurora High School. Students can apply for college scholarships through the Community Foundation of the Fox River Valley. In 2021, a Career and Technical Education fund was created to support students pursuing a career path via a professional, trade or vocational studies program.

(AEEF por sus siglas en inglés)

La Fundación Educativa del Este de Aurora es una corporación sin fines de lucro 501 (c)(3) exenta de impuestos, organizada bajo las leyes del Estado de Illinois y establecida para atraer las donaciones privadas de fondos y servicios con el fin de enriquecer los programas educativos y brindar oportunidades que de otra manera no estarían disponibles a través de fuentes tradicionales de ingresos.

AEEF está dirigido por un grupo de ciudadanos privados, muchos de los cuales son graduados de la Escuela Preparatoria del Este de Aurora y prestan servicios sin compensación. Los esfuerzos de AEEF cuentan con el apoyo de la Junta Educativa.

En tres cortos años desde su fundación en 1993, la Fundación Educativa de Aurora East (AEEF) logró su primer meta de establecer un fondo de dotación. El interés de esa dotación se utiliza para financiar programas educativos en el Distrito Escolar 131 de East Aurora, programas que de otro modo no existirían por falta de apoyo financiero. Durante su historia, la fundación ha financiado decenas de programas que han tocado las vidas de miles de estudiantes en todo el Distrito Escolar 131 de East Aurora.

La AEEF sigue apoyando a los estudiantes que se gradúan de la escuela de East Aurora High School. Los estudiantes pueden solicitar becas universitarias a través de la Fundación Comunitaria del Valle del Río Fox (Fox River Valley). En 2021, se creó un fondo de Educación de Carrera Profesional y Técnica para apoyar a los estudiantes que siguen una trayectoria profesional a través de un programa de estudios profesionales, de comercio o de formación vocacional.
