The board heard a presentation from Jenna Van Beek, president of the Golden Eagle Education Foundation (GEAF), describing the foundation’s programs and recent support for Fountain Hills students.
Van Beek said GEAF has funded classroom projects across grade levels (examples cited: hydrogen cars, DNA labs, rockets, materials for indigenous youth) and that in 2025 the foundation planned to facilitate 29 scholarships totaling more than $60,500. She said GEAF had awarded more than $1 million in scholarships since 1992, described the mentoring program (60 mentors supporting 76 students) and invited community members to volunteer on the foundation’s board or donate.
Board members thanked the foundation for its work and asked about donations and how to access the foundation’s website (the presenter confirmed donation links on fhgeef.org and a donate button for program‑specific support).
