Your Gifts Don’t Cease
In the Midst of Global Crisis, Your Gifts Give Priority to Education.
Since the global crisis began in November 2008, donors like you have given almost $300,000 to support the Kosovo American Education Fund, demonstrating your devotion to education. Your generosity comes amid an economic crisis in which global levels of giving have dropped.
“For many programs around the world, donors are giving less,” said William Brown, Vice President of Development. “That’s what makes it all the more impressive that giving to KAEF has increased. It shows that donors understand that the future of Kosovo depends on education.”
Your support has proven crucial to the success of KAEF. While many scholarship programs around the world were forced to cut back on the number of scholarships they offered, KAEF actually expanded in 2009, awarding nine fellowships for the first time in its history.
Since 2005, your generosity has helped to provide 48 fellowships to Kosovo’s most talented young leaders. Those that have completed their academic programs have returned to Kosovo, where they are working to improve their country.
As the economy recovers, your donations will continue to play a vital role in KAEF, and, through KAEF, in the prosperity of Kosovo.
