Start an Education Opportunity Fund
Build a scholarship program. Shape the future of education.
As the program manager, you set the vision and recommend recipients. The Yeshiva Giving Fund holds the funds, approves the awards, and carries the operational weight.
Your Role, Our Role
You shape the vision. We do the rest.

- Advisory structure — who may submit recommendations
- Fund identity — name and description of the program
What You Won’t Manage
- Fund administration
- Payment processing
- Compliance and oversight
- Scholarship disbursement logistics
- Recordkeeping and reporting

Designed for Long-Term Impact
Built to grow with your vision.
EOFs are meant to grow, adapt, and continue serving students over time. Many program managers think beyond immediate need and design funds that reflect educational values across generations.
