Our Story
The Environmental Education Foundation was founded in
1980 as an affiliate of the Geneva Lake Association (GLA).
During its 35 year history, the Foundation has awarded more
than $475,000 in college scholarships, camping and outdoor
education awards to over 425 lake area youth, from 5th grade
through graduate school. Over the years, the Foundation
assets and income have grown from consistent support of
area residents, allowing the EEF to annually award more than
$30,000 to deserving students in the Geneva Lake area.
The EEF has a unique and distinct focus that promotes and
financially supports environmental education experiences for
Geneva Lake area youth.
The Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit, tax exempt
501 (c) (3) organization, governed by a Board of Directors and
By-laws.
Board of Directors
The Foundation Board includes teachers and administrators
from area schools, as well as residents representing the entire
