Mission Statement
Investing in Eagan’s future by providing community connections, grants, and scholarships.
Description
The Eagan Foundation (EFI) grew out of discussions in 1990 by educators and business people in Eagan interested in creating a Scholarship Program for graduating seniors at the newly created Eagan High School. Since then, more than $950,000 in scholarships has been distributed to more than 800 students. Additionally, EFI has been involved in many community programs and charitable initiatives for the Eagan community.
The Eagan Foundation encourages, supports, and enhances ideas, funding, and collaborative action to meet community needs. Each year EFI administers and awards scholarships to many deserving high school graduates who reside in or attend school in Eagan culminating in an awards and recognition event. In addition, EFI's Community Grants and Initiatives program is supported by an annual wine tasting and silent auction event.
