MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT

Memberships

The EEF board members continue our focus and dedication to establish a new vibrant foundation and pursue our mission.  However, we understand that we can’t sustain or raise our goals to provide a meaningful educational path for all children without community support.  Donations and fundraising are the lifeline to survive and grow. Consider contributing to our passion and core purpose and be part of our efforts to assist the Elkin City Schools teachers and students. Elkin City Schools is the smallest school system in the state, but we are mighty! Your kindness and generosity are the most significant roles of the success and sustainability of EEF.  You are a part of this essential community, and we need you to make a positive impact.

Join fellow alumni, community members, businesses, and foundations in supporting our mission to achieve and surpass our financial objectives.
